Simon,
I think you hit the nail on the head. I would suspect that the reason
why
the US uses MMDDYYYY is because we say it as.. December 15th, 2009. So
people here write their dates 12/15/2009 because that is how they say
it
in their heads. It then translated over into the computer world where
these dates must now be stored.

Does the rest of the world say 15th December, 2009?


Thanks
Bryce Martin
