I sometimes think the date format should be a world standard format.
----------------------------------------You write today as 3-14-2014 On this side of the pond we would write 14-3-2014 Sometimes when I see someone has written on a forum a date (for example) 04-05-2014 I have to check where the author is located - otherwise I could turn up a month late for an event! Is it the 4th of May, or 5th April? Confusing at times! :)  |

Well, even though I agree with both of you, I just would like to remind you about the proper side for driving the cars as well as about the proper measure units

...proper side for driving the cars... uh... careful there....  I once stated in a meeting that certain countries drove on the wrong side of the road.... I had obviated that there were representatives from the British Empire present and boy, did I get an ear full !!! So now I have trained myself to state that there are countries that drive on the "other" side of the road.  CJSL Crunching for a better future... |

I do I do, it was the knights so that the swords would be away from the other guys I was told, and it sound logical... That driving on the left goes back to medieval days, when Knights ruled, and Shrubberies were truly unruly, and roamed in large packs. Most folk are right handed, and therefore the right hand & arm is the strongest. So if you were riding your horse down a lane or road, and an enemy was approaching you head-on, you met him with your strongest and favorite arm holding the sword. /hijack off, back to Pi :) |
