Subject: RE: 2.1.18 Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit! Originally posted by WildWillDear USA .... It is DAY / MONTH / YEAR ... in that order I have a degree in a foreign language and took linguistic classes, etc. There actually isn't a set order for the day/month/year in English. It is a degree F vs. degree C and a yards vs meters type thing. Different countries/regions have adopted different systems and they are all correct and acceptable (but most Americans have never seen the date listed day/month/year and have no idea there are other accepted conventions). Fortunately I got a Mechanical Engineering degree in college too so you can talk to me in kilometer or miles and I understand both. You can talk to me in degrees C or Degrees F and I understand both. I submitted all of my Spanish essay Day/Month/Year so I also can go both ways on the date. I am currently working on a lot of North Sea Drilling Rig Projects with our Norway Offices and submit all of those documents day/month/year but we have a format key under the revision block that defines the convention (dd.mm.yyyy) so there is no confusion. I am not sure if you noticed or not but the OP is an English teacher. Edited by BlueBoy26 2018-02-05 11:59 AM
