You claim that the discussion is ongoing, and yet the Bot has already been written,
tested, and is set to go off in 30 minutes!
It's confusing because it is NOT what Americans write, unless they have military
training. Try writing 2/3/03 and tell me what the date is.

Apparently there is a move under way to change EVERY date in the
English Wikipedia
to "2 March" format from "March 2" format. How did
this slip under the radar without a major discussion? It's a very
anti-American thing to do.
