Well, there's the front end of the week, and the back end of the week, and together they make the weekend ...

I am originally from Croatia. We use metric, Day Month Year for dates, A4 paper and 24 hour clock. I only heard few plumbers use inches for pipes in my life. Does anyone knows of a list that shows which country uses which standard for the issues we are talking about here? I would be very interested to know, but my guess is that USA is again in minority with it's style just as it is with the metric system use. Predrag
