would "liikelo see everyone express-
ing dates in the same way and
thereby eliminate the confusion
now associated with the practice.
For instance, the SCC asks, when
the milk found at the back of the
refrigerator is stamped 05/06/89,
does that mean itis good until June
5, or has it been sour cream since
early May?
And when going through the
household bills, which should be
paid first, the one dated 89/05/06
or the one marked 89-06-05?
When it comes to expressing
dates in numbers, it seems every-
one does it differently ---a situation
that often leads to confusion. The
SCC, however, points out that. there
is only one correct way ofk writing
staiidarsl for writing dates and
times developed by the Internation-
al Organization for Standardization
(ISO);;. an agency with 91 member
countries.
Canada's participation, in ISO
activities is sponsored by the Stan-
dards Council of Canada, the
Crown corporation . responsible for
fostering and promoting standards
activities in this country.
A growing number of individu-
als and organizations around the
world are turning to the ISO stan-
dard for dates and times to avoid
confusion i everything from com-
mercial transactions to office
memos.
The public can join this move-
ment by following these steps:

Expressing dates numerically is a
good idea, the SCC says. Especially
in Canada where there are two offi-
cial 1
anguages, hence two ways of
spelling the date alphabetically.
Numbers can overcome the barri-
ers of language; but they only work
if everyone uses them the same
way.
