I had come to the conclusion that mm/dd/yy was brought in to arrange dates in order on computers. Using dd/mm/yy causes date named files to appear in a really f'd up order, whereas the former provides a much more ordered result.

mmddyy existed before computers.

You wouldn't know they were riding horses; they could be riding bicycles which doesn't stir the soul in quite the same way. 'Horsepeople' doesn't really do it either; I guess some things were not designed to be PC.

Erm no. Just basic alphanumerical ordering of things.

A came before B and 1 before 2 a long time before me and you were ever born.

I was going to start a new thread but i add it here where Suzi can see it.

Why do interviewers show cleavage? Is it a test to see if we can make eye contact and avoid looking down the entire interview? It's hard enough thinking of answers without those distractions going on.
