BTW I heard that the reason D-day was chosen as july 6 was so that if there were any snafu regarding the different way US and Brit troops wrote the date it wouldn't matter.

But EVERYONE beat me to it! Can't wait until May 4, at 3:21 am for my next opportunity to beat you all to the punch!

I wouldn't know how to write the date as 04/05/06, because I'd spend too much time counting the months on my fingers. However, I use YYYY/MM/DD to sort photos on my PC, because it's the only method of numerically writing the date that produces a sequential series --- which makes more sense than both DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY. I spent 5 minutes thinking about all this. Wow. When writing the date by hand, I always write something like April 5th, 2006, and sometimes April 5/06.

Anyway, nice to point out :) Thanks! I actually am all for YYYY/MM/DD - like this, alphabetic sorting will yield the same results as date sorting…
