Oh yeah, meant to comment about this last bit... This is a very Euro-centric viewpoint, and western European at that. Most Asian people, for example, write the date as a series of numbers with a chinese character (or, in the case of Korean, with the hangeul for the word that was once written as a Chinese character). For example, in Korean, today's date is: 2005년 9월 28일. That is, the month of September doesn't have a name, as such; it is written AND spoken as the equivalent of "9 month" in most of the major Asian languages. As for the languages of the middle east, I don't speak any of them myself, but I'd venture a guess that the names for the months in those languages is quite different than most Western European languages. Ditto for the slavic languages of eastern Europe. Still, formatting according to locale settings ought to take care of that issue, I do believe. -- Derek D.
