OK, corrected the date in the subject line.

There must be some mechanism to automatically insert today's date into a given location - I will do some research...

Actually I have a tool here on my old Win2K machine that should do just that: 2010/08/10 (that's how it comes out). Interested?

I was taught from primary school 10-08-2010

Looks like that was before computers were invented :lol:

Actually, when I started to work with computers in 1970, we all thought that a computer date was like '700810' (YYMMDD). It took us thirty years to find out that a computer date must be '19700810' (YYYYMMDD)!

As I've previously posted:

We bastardize everything.... :unsure:

You can't even spell bastardise properly................ :lol:

I do not doubt it. :unknw:

However,this WAS taken from an American dictionary:

That Henry Webster has a lot to answer for. :D

I shall seek the bastardiser out with extreme prejudice! :lol:

I think he will be dead by now. He wrote his 'Little Blue Book of Simplified English' around 1848. :lol:

I guess he'll be easier to find then,yes? :D

Only if you search where he lived, then try to find the Church yard he was buried in. :D
