- I wish to heck that people would follow conventions in expressing dates:
- dd.mm.yy[yy] with periods or dd mm yy[yy] with spaces but mm/dd/yy[yy] with
- slashes or mm-dd-yy[yy] with hyphens. Anyone using slashes to write dd/mm/yy
- during the first twelve days of a month is asking for problems.

- Today is 11/22/92, or 11-22-92, or 22.11.92, or 22.XI.92, or 22 XI 92, but
- it is nowise 22/11/92.
