Yeah, the only type of things that took me a short while 'adjusting/adapting' to, when I moved from Holland to the US, were small things such as dates (07-20-2005 as opposed to 20-07-2005), am/pm instead of military time, and a . in prices ($ 10.00) instead of a , (Hfl. 10,00)...aZooZa said:USA uses 04-09-2005 for what we write 09-04-2005 here in UK. It CAN get confusing.
