You can get their preferred format by either setting the usesystemdate to true and then getting a date or time, or just by getting "the system date". Then all the LiveCode date formats will reflect the user preference. For the abbrev date, where the month is not fully expanded, a quick lookup in the monthnames would fix that. Just replace the abbreviated month name with the expanded one.
