OK, I expected to get dd/mm/yy since it was using en_GB, so it's
working as
I thought. I looked here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
and it appears that at first glance no country exists which uses 24 hour
time and mm/dd/yy so the actual code will need to be edited
rather than making a copy... I'll take a shot at that and post.
Maybe it's a good time to think about switching to unabiguous iso formats. I
much prefer the unambiguous, sortable, big-endian date format, and 24 hour
days that each have 24 hours in them 100% numerically, two formats which can
be combined into one accurate and sortable string of digits with a single
decimal to segregate calendar from clock.
Maybe try en_DK for a while?
