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.

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.

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 (...)
