04/07 is not "4th of July" in Eurospeak it's "4th July". We don't celebrate "4th July". When I ask yout the EXACT date of the signing of the Delcaration of Independance do you say "4th, July, 1776"? No you say "July 4th 1776" or 07/04/1776

Excerpt from Wikipedia - "In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July"
And on the USA.gov website even it says "Fourth of July is Independence Day" - see

It is not EuroSpeak - I have traveled a huge chunk of the world, and for the MOST part the peoples of the world use DAY/MONTH/YEAR
I think the Mayans weren't saying the world was over in 2012. I think they knew that we would be all pissed off with two date standards, and we would start a new system from that date ;)
Who cares whether we use Year/Month/Day, or Month/Day/Year or Day/Month/Year... I think in this new internetercized global village that we can all agree to use just one standard
now - is is 10:11 as I type this - is that PM or AM, and could I be up at night at 22:11 hours or did I just have my first cup of coffee
oh the pain.... the pain
