Any format's good to me. I grew up with the format I use today. I couldn't care less about people's date formats, English etc. As long as their points are gotten across, I'm good.
As I said, this thread was as per the title, I got no responses to that. Instead, it evolved into date format, correct and incorrect use, what was liked and what wasn't etc.
As I said previously, the purpose of this thread has been lost, I've gotten what I wanted - a '96 Audi A4 B5 2,6 Quattro MT. So we're all good.
