Ruby 1.9 American Style Date Parsing

by penguincoder —

It would appear that all dates to Ruby 1.9 work as “dd/mm/yyyy”. I have made monkey patch to Ruby’s String that will allow ‘American’ (mm/dd/yyyy) style date processing in Rails to_date method.

Ah ah ah. :D

Seriously? That sucks. I thought if it were a Japanese thing, it’d be YYYY/MM/DD. (And I’m a Brit..)
