It does. It's Month/Day/Year.
Pretty much every country but us puts the month first when writing the date with numbers sir.

A front page article from my local newspaper had the headline "Man Shot To Deat". Not sure if it is just laziness or that the population is simply getting dumber.

And no chris, I'm not that retarded.

But Luke, in Europe(and other places?) they use day/month/year.

Wait. What?

No big deal, but I found the "Not everyone lives in the US" and "you're not that retarded" comments to be quite funny.

That's not the only date format. In some classes in college, they made us date our papers that way. It's the outside of America standard.

Most countries put them in the order of magnitude when writing number dates. Go into regional settings on your PC and pick a country, any country, then look at the date format. :wink:

Any more information about the whole Donkey Kong Country thing?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Yeah, I get that. I was "Wait. Whatting?" on your post that stated the opposite.

I found your comments sad because it's not the first time I've heard them. Very sad.
