Oi, the date format is endlessly confusing if you're American and you
happen to prefer the non-American way, *and* do computers enough to
think in the iso way.
My most recent rent check, which I wrote last week on the 3rd of
January, I wrote "04 Jan 03", saw how messed up that was, and scribbled
a litle "20" in front of the "04". My landlady came by and thought I'd
written the year wrong :-)
