But there's no such standard in English. There is such a standard if you're specifying British English, but American English has no such standard, it seems to have regional standards. I'm not sure if Australian English has such a standard, but at any rate, there's definitely no standard for "World English". -- Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon A nation without a language is a nation without a heart - Welsh proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
