Then of course I also find the word "Beijing" annoying, too. It's still Peking until the Kennel Club changes the name of breed to Beijnigous. I find the use of CE and BCE to be annoying.

Although, I admit that I rarely ever write the date in DD/MM/YY sequence when everything is numbers--it gets too confusing when everybody else I know puts the month first. So I only put the date first when I'm writing out the name of the month (grin). <em>--Deb's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PunctualityRules/~3/312999590/' rel="nofollow">MM: Semi-Colon</a></em> @Karen–I like to write the date that way, myself, so maybe I’ll take advantage of “celebrating” twice!

In Australia we write the date the 'British' way so I'll be watching out for that moment in time next month. <em>Karen (karooch from Scraps of mind)'s last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ScrapsOfMind/~3/314475332/' rel="nofollow">Madison Avenue Scrapbooking</a></em> Thanks for the head’s up Deb.

The only reason for this is because when I'm naming files by date, it puts them in the right order. Yes, I'm a geek like that. <em>Melissa Donovan's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WritingForward/~3/309510269/what-ive-learned-about-blogging' rel="nofollow">What I’ve Learned About Blogging</a></em> Hey that’s cool and it happened on my birthday ;)
