This is quite off-topic but does not apply to people outside of aus so
I'm posting here.

<begin rant>
Does it annoy anyone else that ebay.com.AU is meant to be an Australian
site but uses the American dating system mm/dd/yy rather than ours
dd/mm/yy?

Sorry, just noticed it and got mad!! Please do not turn this into a
cross-Pacific sledging match as I mean no disrespect for the US dating
convention only for the fact that a supposedly .au site is using it when
Australian's DON'T.

<end rant>

(...) I'm annoyed by it too -- and I'm American! I think the American dating system (mm/dd/yyyy) are the second dumbest thing on the entire planet. dd/mm/yyyy makes so much more sense. --Todd (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
