i never understand when people don't make things *crystal clear* when sending info like this. - Andie Apr 3, 06:29 3
- because they thought they were being clear. you bring it up with them, I bet there's no concept that it could have been ambiguous. -- nm - mafic Apr 3, 06:39 2
  - i never even write dates in the 4/11/17 format, too easy to read wrong, i spell it out April 11, 2017. -- (edited) - Andie Apr 3, 06:45 1
