Default Date Format

I know that a lot of you are from the Americas, but for us poor UK people (and it's probably just me) I have to look hard at the dates things were posted to work it out. I'm too used to seeing it in the correct format of dd/mm/yyyy. Is it possible to have an option to display it to the individuals whim and fancy?

It's not under user CP so far as I can see.

It's just something that I'm used to in the UK and I'm always reading the dates wrong on various forums until I get 12/25/07 then I realise, cos I'm not THAT dumb! rofl

Quiet down over there, snooty Englishman, or we'll bomb the tar out of you and make you do things our way.
This is what we Americans (US Americans, at least) do... At least until January 20th of 2009.

It's the date (I think) that the new US president, whoever that will be, will, theoretically, be sworn into office.
I saw a great bumper sticker the other day. "January 20th, 2009; The End of an Error"

BTW: I hope it was obvious that my last post was a joke, and was aimed at my own country, not at yours, Shirindo.

Ugh! Now I've got to READ stuff. That's so unfair.

Actually, that works fine for me. Probably the best way of doing things.
