[quote=ROGERINCA,35893]Paul, I can fully understand your point.  I personally do not have a horse in this race, one way or the other, and don‘t care.  Having said that, this is how I will frame the issue, from another perspective:

From a business perspective, I believe a lot depends on the intended market/audience of the particular corporation and/or its business web site. If the target audience of the business, as well as the largest customer/user base is, in fact, North Americans (including the huge--getting ready to retire--baby-boomer group) then the web site would be structured to conform to the comfort level of that predominant [user] group, and thus what they are used to.

I do not have any specific knowledge of TCG’s Customer Demographic or Market Demographic Analysis.  However, if my guess is correct, then this might be why the TCG date format is what it is and not that of ‘ISO 8601‘, or some other derivative.  We community ‘members’ must not forget that we are as a group, just a [small] cog in the much larger wheel.  Corporate profit will always come first; and without the corporation being profitable, this community of members would cease to exist.  But, then again, maybe I do not know what I am talking about; maybe it is not a business decision at all !!?? LOL  :)
