29FEb, if that had been the case they would have found similar dates for VE and VJ days. They didn't. It is just when the Armistice was signed, making it 11 am made it sound better, and be more memorable as the end of "the war to end all wars".
Shame they got that bit wrong.

it certainly isnīt how businesses or public announcements are represented.

I am now even more curious about why.
There are a lot of bi or trilingual magazines in BCN, as well as promotional material etc. Maybe there are some American editors/influences behind this.
Although I am sure I have seen this phenomena from other sources as well.

perhaps.. if these are bi-tri lingual articles.. then someone is just translating the words and all dates are left as is.
obviously the original was in english/americanized..
could be this? i thought you mean tin normal spanish publications..
check it out. i am also very curious.

I agree that yyyymmdd makes the most sense to me.
Among other merits, it keeps everything sorted in correct order when used in filenames, with or without hyphens or other punctuation marks.
file-2007-12-12
comes after
file-2007-11-11
comes after
file-2007-01-01
comes after
file-2006-12-31
etc, etc...
Putting the mm-dd or the dd-mm in front of the year jumbles the years all together.
Best wishes,
Rex

next time i come across it i'll post.
i agree with the idea that it may be stuff translated from english but im sure it's not the only place i've seen it.
like i said, about 50%.
although i have been checking receipts etc. for the date, haven't found where i've seen it yet.
