It's not a huge deal but it is a bit annoying - CCP, can you please start to use the worldwide standard for dates? It's more logical too! We try to be consistent and use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 for dates and times. This is, e.g., what the EVE Forums use. In a few places we use that standard but with . (dot) as the delimiter, e.g., in the EVE Client and EVE Gate. The EVE Launcher, unfortunately, uses neither of those standards/conventions.

Buddy program past invites. Date on EULA (Updated April 16, 2012) Forum moderation policy (Revised 01/08/2014) Thanks; please note that EULA date format is correct, since it's being spelled out as "April" then the English (US) convention applies.
