I agree. This should not happen, but here is my original code: -(NSString*)formattedDate:(NSDate*)aDate{ NSDateFormatter * formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [formatter setDateFormat:@"mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm a"]; NSString * dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:aDate]; return [self stringWithSentenceCapitalization:dateString]; } and it produces the incorrect format. It is called like this: [weathervane formattedDate:[timer fireDate]]; [timer fireDate] returns a date in this format: 2012-04-20 18:23:43 +0000 I've also rebuilt the revision of the source for the old build that I have and it produces the same flawed results. In any case, I'll edit the global prefs and see if it makes a difference. I really hope that I made an error somewhere. Thats a problem I can fix. "...Business! Mankind was my business.
