Reply to "dd/mm/yyyy Date Format Option (Australia)"

<rant>
Folks,

Its not just Australia and the UK that use the dd/mm/yyyy format. That format is the normal international format, though some countries use "-" or "." as a separator. The "mm/dd/yyyy" construction is a piece of North American daftness. Its a complete pain in the rear and cost the world millions annualy in screwups and extra effort for software developers. The gringos need to get with the programme and align with the rest of the world.

Instead of asking politely "can you support my country's format please?", phrase your question something like "Do you have any plans to make your system usable outside north america?"
