What is with these straw man attacks? It is NOT going to go off in 30 minutes. Where in the world did you get that absurd idea? Furthermore, 2/3/03 is a non-sequitur -- no one has ever suggested it. The discussion involves only 2 March 2003 versus March 2, 2003.
What, exactly, is confusing about 2 March 2003?

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.
