Why do you always put the dates the other way round?
Like September 11th is 9/11 and not 11/9?? I know it's hardly anything major, it's just annoying when trying to work out when something was actually recorded.
Its not a problem for me. I actually sort all my sets the European way because most of them come from other countries. 2004-06-29. Like that.
