He used the European way of dating which is date/month/year instead of month/date/year as in the United States. Just a bit of cultural difference, that's all. I am from Honduras and we use date/month/year as well, but I have lived in the U.S. for so long that I've gotten used to its cultural norms. Thanks for the clarification. Carlos A.
