My birthday is the 5th day of some month. So I was surprised and took notice when LinkedIn included in an announcement email to congratulate me on my birthday this month. I didn’t remember giving them my birthday, but I’ve had the account so long I thought maybe I gave it as account verification information. I presumed it was the usual headache that can arise out of the fact that the US represents dates as month/day and the UK/CAN represents dates as day/month.
