Ah ok, I thought eschwartz meant other locations in the US. The YMD format obviously works great for date sorting of files on a computer and the DMY is just the reverse of that, but the US format is just confusing, and coincidentally enough, not used anywhere else in the world ....
I thought the 24HR clock and 12HR clock were pretty much interchangeable. They are both commonly used in the UK, but timetables etc stick to 24HR to avoid any confusion.
