    In England its 11/1/11

    Does anyone know why we date differently? Always found that strange.............

    But yeah, very cool. And on the 11th of Nov it will look the same no matter what side of the pond :bigsmile:

    Smallest to largest, 11th day of the 1st month of the 2011 year. Most of the world does it like that

    Early in his career, Elton John had an album that was called 11-17-70. The fan magazines had a picture of one: 17-11-70. I thought somebody messed up. When I realized that was the actual album name in England, I wanted a copy. None to be found over here. I recently bought my CD copy. Still 11-17-70.

    Yep, America likes to be different. Mexico and most of South America do it date, month, year too. I have no idea why we do it that way, I just remember getting confused at first in Spanish class in college because I'd never seen it done that way before! :smile: If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense to do it that way, at least to me.
