Also, be clear about whether you're using the inte rnational or United States format for dates and times. Placement ofdigits varies: Is 3/9 meant to be read asMarch 9 or September 31 if you're communicating with your team leader in Rome, prefer 1430 hours for a conference call rather than 2:30 P.M.
