Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Italian term or phrase:
gg/mm/aaaa
English translation:
dd/mm/yyyy
Italian term
gg/mm/aaaa
My question is whether in the U.K., you write the day/month/year like in Italy, or month/day/year like in the States.
This is only referring to the format that uses the backslash ("/").
So, for clarity, do British people and other natives of the United Kingdom write, for instance, "26/5/1997", or "5/26/1997" to indicate May 27, 1997?
Thank you,
Peter (obviously American)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
