I took Ancient Greek to GCSE level - we had to pick additional classes to take in the third year (that's year 9 for state schools) and I'd enjoyed Latin in the first two, so I thought why not. We went from a class of twenty-seven at the start of the third year to nine who actually took the GCSE.

Now I wonder if the message is code for something like "Hello Headquarters, I have successfully hacked into user 'masako''s account and am ready to proceed."
So much better out of context

(Australia very sensibly uses day/month/year format. I’ve yet to comprehend why anyone would voluntarily use
middle-endian order…)
This raises the very important question: is the (obviously correct) day/month/year little- or big-endian?

Little-endian, because the bit which changes the fastest comes first.

Big-endian, because times are always big-endian, and hence dates have to also be big-endian as otherwise date/time combos are doomed to be middle-endian.
