warning The Name Trap!

First Name vs. Last Name

(នៅកម្ពុជា នាមត្រកូលនៅមុខ នាមខ្លួននៅក្រោយ។ តែអង់គ្លេសគឺបញ្ច្រាសគ្នា!)

warning The Date Trap!

DD/MM/YYYY vs. MM/DD/YYYY

(ទម្រង់ថ្ងៃខែមានភាពខុសគ្នា អាស្រ័យលើប្រទេស!)

UK / International Standard:
DD/MM/YYYY (Day / Month / Year)
15/04/1998 = 15th April 1998

US Standard:
MM/DD/YYYY (Month / Day / Year)
04/15/1998 = April 15th, 1998

Hi Channy! "N/A" stands for "Not Applicable". It means that the question doesn't apply to you. For example, if a form asks for your "Home Phone Number" but you only have a mobile phone, you can write "N/A" in that box! edit_document
