Ummmm -- your US-centric view of dates is showing rather obviously,
unless you can explain the unexpected appearance of a 27th month this
year -- one that, even more oddly, cam after the 30th month and before
the 26th, which itself came before the 8th month which itself has come
before we've reached the middle of the June, the 6th month...
Or maybe your US-centric view of dates coupled with your loathing of MS
blinded you to your date inadequacies?

Nick FitzGerald
