Good point. A simple "glitch" on the host machine -- which may have
had nothing to do with Calc (e.g., an OS error, memory or disk fault,
or power fluctuation) -- could have caused the corruption and would
never be reproducible. The lesson that should be taken from this
experience is that a critical database shouldn't be hosted on a system
that lacks a UPS, ECC-memory, and a suitable RAID plus automatic
backup system.
Given that the problem doesn't seem to have occurred for other users,
it makes no sense to me for your management to blame OO.

Why is the least significant figure (days) in the American date

Don't know but, being American, I find the Euro format just as
confusing as they find ours. Similarly, their preference for
expressing fuel efficiency as volume/distance baffles me. It's just a
matter of which convention one is accustomed to. As for digital
watches, every one I've seen uses hr:min:sec, although there are
surely a few novelty models that differ.
