Hi, Havoc
I know, now I should have complained before you commited, but I first saw
it now, and I really have to complain:
Why are you using the MDY order for the API. This might be the natural
order in the US, but it is completely illogical. Either you take the DMY
order or the YMD order, but MDY is really anacronistic, because the order
has nothing to do with significance, so take highest to lowest
significane, i.e. YMD or lowest to highest significance, i.e. DMY, but not
such a mixed form. It's like writing a time in the format
hours:seconds:minutes. Please change that, as long as nobody's started
using it.
Bye,
Sebastian
