Re: Date Convention
Gee guys,

How many times are we going to revisit this one? To the best of my knowledge, date conventions, America versus Europe, using only numbers, are, using July 9, 2006 as an example:

American: 7/9/06, 07-09-06
European: 9/7/06, 09-07-06, 9.7.06

While a few American advertisers have thought they'd get "classy" by using 7.9.06, as far as I know, it is not a standard American dating convention.

So, we would be reasonably safe in using the European 9.7.06. Of course, spelling it out avoids all confusion.

Regards,
Richard

PS. Of course, we could eliminate the first 12 days of the month...
