Default Why Does AJOR Use American Date System??

I don't understand the US way of doing things!!!

They can't get their head around the metric system - the most basic of all, and their date system is nothing short of confusing!!!!

Doesn't it make sense to have the numbers turn over in the speed they turn over eg: days/months/years.

Why does AJOR use this system too - surely it is not a world thing!!

Try the software that we use being designed in the US. But I will look into it.

I tend to agree with you JKohn. I installed Quicken and the dates were American style. Nothing like printing out invoices to aussie clients with an american looking date. Thankfully found out after hours of searching how to change it!

And yes Ari....be nice!

is it also the way we 'say' the date. Like Americans say April Four Twothousand ten, (month, date, year) where we say its the 4th of April 2010.... eh?
