so, out with it, foot in mouth disease never bothered you before...or are you wating for your minders instructions?

OK.. Here goes. In America, we date things: mm/dd/yyyy.

In England, and English colonies and commonwealths, they typically date things: dd/mm/yyyy.

So look at Mom’s date of birth: 11/29/42, or the 11th day of the 29th month of 1942. But in England, there are only 20 months in a year! (OK, I’m joking) There is no 29th month.

Also look at John Kwame Odongo’s signature date: 8/7/1961
or July 8, 1961. BUT Obama was born on August 4, 1961. The doctor signed this about a month BEFORE Obama was born.

Now one person might date it Americanized. But two subjects dating it Americanized?
