I think people like David Carlisle and myself are sufficiently tuned into
American culture that we recognize this example as a date: but we sometimes
feel it's worth reminding American posters on the list that there are
millions of people in the world who will not recognize it as such, any more
than they will recognize your postal address and phone number below as a US
address and phone number.
