Sorry, but I mean, if I'm an ignorant about date formats (which many
computer users are), but happen to know that computers often use some
format where month comes before day (american style) it is not at all
obvious.
And there is nothing to guess about dd mmm yyyy, worst case I just don't
understand the mmm string because it's in the wrong language.
