USE ENGLISH
April 17th, 2003
Apparently it took the US Immigration Service a very long time to accept that, because most of the rest of the world write their dates as dd-mm-yyyy instead of mm-dd-yyyy, their immigration forms should reflect this.
Yesterday, when arriving in Washington, I noticed that hanging in the immigration hall were samples of the forms you have to fill in. But they were all filled as John Traveler, Jane Traveler etc., even though most other English speaking countries spell “traveller” with two ells…
