Is there a proper standard for the layout of dates?
It seems that the 'standard' used in the US is, for example
"October 27, 2005", hence the expression "9/11", whereas in the UK
it's usually "27 October, 2005".
To me the "US" version seems illogical - it's rather like writing
numbers as Tens, Hundreds and Units.
