But then I'm just an igornant 'Merican. ;-) Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Dernie" <Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, August 9, 2010 2:10:16 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Leica] Today is 8/9/10 Hi Mark, AFAIK North America is the only place in the world to use the month-day-year format, (can anybody correct that??) which is illogical, like feet-inches-yards for distance or minute-second-day for shorter times. Most places I have visited in the world use day-month-year, which has a logic like inches-feet-miles. Japan, and probably other countries in this region(???) use year-month-day, which is the most logical IMHO, and the one I use for photograph files FWIW. It is like miles-feet-inches and is compatible with hours-minutes-seconds. Sensible.
