    Irregular date formatting on English Lodestone

    Rather inconsequential I know, but I couldn't help but notice that two recent Lodestone posts have been DD/MM/YYYY on the English sites (both US and UK). Usually the date appears as MM/DD/YYYY on the English Lodestone pages.

    The two posts in question are:
    Letter from the Producer, XXXIV (16/08/2012)
    Patch 1.23a Notes (13/08/2012)

    Whereas
    The Last Word – Dalamud Approaches (08/16/2012)

    appears between the two. Honestly, I forgot whether or note Lodestone falls under Localization's jurisdiction or not, but I like you guys more so help me out!

    What's interesting is that the Letter from the Producer's forum thread has 08/16/2012 and the Lodestone has 16/08/2012. I NEED THINGS UNIFORM OH GOD

    Remeber! It's the US that is the odd country out by putting the month first. You should (convert).

    But in all seriousness, I'm guessing the folks in London messed this one up.

    This fact is why it surprised me that the UK site used MM/DD too!

    (And according to Wikipedia, Belize uses the US system as well, so you know, gotta appease them Belize)

    It's always been like that, I wrote a bug report about it ages ago, never been fixed, when ever I repost stuff for myls website I always change the date to be the right way around lol

    It's wierd the patch notes and letter from producer is the right way round, unusual for the lodestone
