This should probably be OT, but don't most people who use the dd mm yy 
practice use dot notation? I remember seeing that often. To use your example, 
the date would be written as 11.12.05, is that not correct?

I'm curious also if we Californians (and other US peeps) are the only ones 
still using the mm-dd-yy format for dates. 

Oh well, off to bed...
