"American Date Format?"

How would anyone know?

Anyway ... can't be ... I'm certain of that .... Americans don't use "." as a separator in their dates.

Its therefore the Japs. Actually was. On 6th February 2003. Actually might not be ... might be the year of the emperors reign - that would have been the 3rd year which was .... let me think ...

Yeah, shame on them ... like I was saying "Insular idiots!"

I despair of people using ambiguous dates in international forums like the internet ... just because the format is familiar to the author is a lousy excuse.

My god I agree with Kristen, call an ambulance!

Only one slight flaw on the ambiguity front. Just realised that the "rubber" thread

and now also

http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62416
could mean something slightly different to some readers. Take your pick:-

quote:
rub·ber
n.
1. A yellowish, amorphous, elastic material obtained from the milky sap or latex of various tropical plants, especially the rubber tree, and vulcanized, pigmented, finished, and modified into products such as electric insulation, elastic bands and belts, tires, and containers. Also called caoutchouc, India rubber.
2. Any of numerous synthetic elastic materials of varying chemical composition with properties similar to those of natural rubber.
3. A low overshoe made of rubber.
4. Baseball. The rectangular piece of hard rubber that the pitcher must remain in contact with when making a pitch.
5. Something made of rubber, as:
An eraser.
A tire.
A set of tires on a vehicle.
6. Slang. A condom.
7. One that rubs, especially one that gives a massage.
8. A series of games of which two out of three or three out of five must be won to terminate the play.
9. An odd game played to break a tie.


(btw I vote for number 7)

Do I detect the sound of distant laughing. When in Latvia of all places, ordering a plate of chips and getting a plate of crisps (with mayonnaise and ketchup on the side!). These strange English speaking people.

Must go, afternoon of meetings to top up on the morning of meetings, who needs to work when you can just spend all day meeting people.
