who's saint David?
todays date is 3/1/13
My ancestors are Welch. Beautifull area and great people.
Todays date is 1 (first) of 3 (March) 2013 (Two thousand and thirteen). The third of January was two months ago. I knew America was behind the times, but two months??
They are most probably Welsh.
I agree about the peopl and the principality, but a great many English dislike them.
My ancestors were Irish. Theiving bastards, every one of them!My ancestors are Welch. Beautifull area and great people.
I get frustrated with English arrogance. It's like they think they founded us or something!Twisted logic.
Written one would say "March 3rd, 2013"... We say it again in shortened form 03/01/13. Some other places in the world use something other than standard English, so they choose to say it like they would in France or some other nations...
1st "of" march, 2013 and then shorten it.
We just keep it to our language and tell the rest of the world to stuff it. Come up with a "logical" reason all you want, but all you are doing is conforming while we just say it in English.
Twisted logic.

As an Englishman I do know my own language. I do hope you don't mind my saying that. It is 1.3.13. You may wallow in your mistake for all eternity, but it doesn't alter the fact that you are mistaken.
It just goes with your other somewhat archaic approach to such things as measurements and spelling and sports and the renaming of things with which you are uncomfortable.
You wish to be insular so be insular, but please dont ever think that American English is in anyway superior to the correct version.
Speak American by all means, but don't call it English. (adj: meaning 'of England'. n: The people of England)
his miracle was he was standing in a field speaking to a crowd when the ground beneath his feet mounded upwards and a dove landed on his shoulder.
wow moles and birds liked him
So.. Basically, you can't suggest that in English we use the Genetive case in dates like they do in Slavic or Latin languages and instead take pride in conformity.
March 1, 2013... is rewritten to be 03/01/13. You can take "pride" in conformity because, like a dyslexic kid, you twist logic to make your misspelling seem "right" to you or you can take control and make others conform to your awesome. We choose to wallow in the awesome, you choose to pretend to like kilometers but give directions in miles... sheepishly resorting back to a small piece of the awesome you once held in your hands... (yeah, I've been to your 'homeland' recently).
