Would calling it a bi of a bummer be an understatement. 

I hate to see that sort of money and man hours going up in an instant.. 

I would rather seen it going up... 

[Surferdude]

Way back in January.

It passed the "Static Fire Test" quite well, I thought.

Way back in January.

Eh?

[FatBoy]

Way back in January.

Remember that the US write their dates differently.  09-01-2016 is actually September 1st, 2016; not 9th January.  Ask me how I know.

I'm fairly sure @Surferdude isn't that stupid.

I'm fairly sure @Surferdude isn't that stupid.

Not accusing him of being stupid, far from it.  Just saying that he probably made the same mistake that I have made when dealing with our Trumpish friends.

He is a Queenslander and they are renown for being behind the times... 

[Surferdude]

Yeah. I read it as January.

Naughty, naughty, don't they write the date that way in Canada 

[Surferdude]

Naughty, naughty, don't they write the date that way in Canada 

Not that I've noticed. They might though. All North Americans are upside down and back to front.

Working for a Canadian company, I can say that the Canadian way can be very confusing.  YYYY MM DD, or even YY MM DD; so today is written 16 09 02.

Exactly.
Nuttier than a fruitcake, eh?

Actually I like the Canadian way best. It's how I date my document versions and they stay in date order.

I'm still upset thinking that Surferdude believes I would post an old article as if it were recent news

Yeah.. 

You are not as dumb as you look! See, I will stick up for you...

But which one of the Canadian ways

It depends on the span of concern, not important as long as it's y/m/d
