Here's some stuff for you to think about:

Words

   It's = it is
   Its = belonging to it

            WRONG: "It's leg was brown."
            Why? "It is leg was brown." is not the right way.

            WRONG: "Its the reason!"
            Why? "Belonging to the reason!" NO NO NO.

   You're = you are
   Your = belonging to you

            WRONG: "You're eye is orange."
            Why? "You are eye is orange." Not correct. Not.

            WRONG: "Your crazy."
            Why? "Belonging to you crazy." That's NOT it.

Dates

Example: February 2, 2002

Okay, I can see 02/02/02, even though it looks a little 'retarded'. Leading zeros can be done like that, though, so it's cool.

I like 2/2/2 or 2-2-2 better, but that's just me.

But WHY? Why would anyone use 2/2/02? What is the deal with that? Why put the leading zero in the year but not the month or day? That's nutty!

So, don't do April 7th as 4-7-02 or 7 April 02
Use 07 April 02 or 7 April 2
Use 4-7-2 or 04-07-02

I know you're used to two digit years! 90% of them are like that. (10,20,30...) But 10% are not. So drop the damn 0 in the years from 0 to 9. As in 2000 to 2009.

Okay, I admit that there are nine months of twelve (1-9) and nine days of about 30 (1-9) (9/12 of a year and 9/30 of a month) versus 10 years (0-9) of 100 (0-99) (1/10 of a century) but that's no excuse.

Just say no to 5/3/02. Do 05/03/02 or 5/3/2. Is there somebody who thinks 5/3/2 is not 5 March 2002? Did you think it was 1902?

I've already put up a bunch of crap about the fact the 3rd Millennium started on 1-1-1 so I won't put you through that again. You're welcome.
