Emm...what's the problem? I'm really happy now in the way Spanish dates are
presented. So I think I don't need a reminder. :-) The default date formats
are ok! I didn't touch any other thing.
It happened that simply the Spanish part of the template was crap. But all
the changes I did (correct me if I'm wrong) was related to the presentation,
not to the formats themselves. And they're right.
BTW, we don't need any of the tweaks Jordi needs for Catalan.
Regards,
Ender.
