Default 9/11 - 7/7

Is every bomb incident now going to be referred to by its date?
Referring to New Yorks as 9/11 (why are'nt we calling it 11/9) is bad
enough. Now we have 7/7. I'm still waiting to hear references to
Madrid's 11/3 or Bali's 12/10!
I hope one does not happen on 2nd February, 2/2 will sound rediculous

It is called 9/11 because Americans put the month before the day. As it
happened there it`s not unreasonable for it to be known as 9/11 all
over.
