yes, stick to the English system;
          then these dates would not become so complicated.
             [why Americans flipped the date is an odd mystery :wink: ]

       Sticking with the English system, historians - including
genealogists - are happier;
          and the world seems to be as well :wink:

       Going with the sticky, mysterious American-way, then no one is
certain whether the 1-12 numbers refer to the day or the month :wink:

       Therefore, my system - and some others - use 'day - month - year'
spelling out the month with 3 letters :wink:

Hi :slight_smile:
Sadly that would be like LO refusing to handle MS formats. Americans
wouldn't be able to cope with the way the rest of the entire world
"does it wrong" and they might even find it a blocker for talking to
the rest of the world. I think most of us realise Americans do it the
wrong way around and just have to cope with it.

Anyway this is a tangent to the main issue which is whether the one
language really needs a long format and if they do they are hopefully
free to re-arrange it to a way that does make sense to them.
