NOOOOO!!!!, don't do that kind of date notation, british people do it the other way round and that causes problems, I mean if I didn't know that was written as an american date I could read it as the 9th of January. On my website I used date notation like that, except I did it the british way and then I ended up confusing the americans.
Sorry but you're really the only non-American here (M6D doesn't even visit the forum, so he doesn't really count). And I think if any non-Americans do come here, they can figure it out, especially seeing as how I said "..on Friday, September 1st..". Plus, we're not going to cater to you just because you're not from America, and do dates differently.
