Does anyone know if anything will be happening on this date at that
station?


(A) What date? We don't have 28 months in a year..... (sorry, but
doing day-month-year is not only counter-intuitive, it's also
American!)


*shrug*

I tend to use either MMDDYYYY or YYYYMMDD.


Language is there to enable us to communicate.

No only does MMDDYYYY as a date format make no sense at all but, as it
is used in only a relatively small area, using it anywhere else hinders
rather than helps communication.

Also look at the group title.
