yeah, most countries have the day and month the other way round, so not so special for the rest of us

well then on 7/8/9 you can view it.... so it happens twice in one year once every 100 years.... I missed it because of work and not paying attention for it, and I'll miss it next time because I'm American...

I missed it too... but I'll be keeping my eyes open on August seventh... day/month/year makes more sense to me too.
I could also point out that on September 9th we can witness 09:09:09 09/09/09

So it seems to me that these 100 year deals come around pretty darn often. user added image

Well, in a way it does, because you would say July 10th, 2009... which is month, day, year.

I don't know... but as a Canadian, I'm always stuck in the middle with heavy American influence all the time, but with British roots. As a result half the population half the time ends up writing "my favourite grey color is the centre of honor"... can't keep it straight... I just end up spelling the way I feel like at the moment. Well, I guess this thread has gotten a bit off topic... sorry.
