I actually agree, it's very confusing. I'm European and I would write 07.01.2010.

On topic: I, too, am Arduino shopping. First I though about getting a Spartan FPGA development board, but I honestly don't think I'll have the time to learn enough to make useful things with it.

It's a really cool action by SparkFun and I hope it will be a success for them.




I'm Australian, but I work in Canada. I have never been able to get the date formatting here right all the time...

Now, whenever I have to write a date by hand I make it impossible to misread. Like so:

01/Jan/2010
