American or British style.   

Only one more left next year.

It's Veteran's Day in the good ole US of America.

Today is also St. Martin's day. And in my country some people are celebrating wine today (or something like that) so there's a lot of drunk people too.

AND today is my grandmother's birthday! (My mum's mum). But she is not alive anymore... she died a long time ago before I was born because she had cancer  I wish I could have met her. My oldest cousin knew her. And she would have been 89 today.
And this week my oldest cousin was celebrating his birthday and we found a lot of old photos and movies that my parents made and they put that on a DVD and we gave him that for a birthday present. I really love watching those old movies (and pictures too, but specially movies) I'm watching them all the time now.

What do you mean American or British style? Today is Veterans day in America. I'm kind of sad next year will be the last one until another decade. I'm kind of hoping I 'll live until the next century that way I could say I had been in three...although that would mean I would have to be a 102 and then I would probably be so out of it I would think it was 2020...sorry back to Earth.
So yeah, what does American or British style mean?

The British use the format - dd/mm/yyyy, and we use - mm/dd/yyyy.  Many feel the British format is more logical.

The British use the format - dd/mm/yyyy, and we use - mm/dd/yyyy.  Many feel the British format is more logical.

And we use - dd/mm/yyyy too (if that means day month year... I think it does).  Don't some people use yyyy/mm/dd ?

For what I know, it is remembrance day in Australia. I think it celebrates when WW1 ended on the 11th hour of the 11th month in 1918.

[Bob]

Next year we'll have 12 12 12 and that's it. 


(And by "that's it" I mean of course that the end of the world will follow soon after.  I'm still available if anyone would like to laugh at my folly by donating all their money to me since they won't need it after the world ends.  I'm just trying to make the world a little less complicated for everyone that way.)

We use yyyy/mm/dd, and I feel that's the most logical   but I like to use dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy, it's something so new and fun to try

[collectivecolors]

Oh, Okay! That makes sense. I prefer personally the MM/DD/YYYY.

Now for all you youngsters out there 11 11 11 also means the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour. That was the exact time agreed by the Germans and the Allies to stop WW1.

This did present a little problem for the field artillery since it took several minutes to clear the breach and reload. President Harry Truman was commanding such a unit so for him the war ended  early at 10:52 because his next round would have been fired after 11 o'clock.

[Bob]

Actually I meant 2011, month 11, day 11.  Next year we have 12-12-2012.

But I guess that works too.  11 11 11 11.

In brazil it was...well, nothing.
