Agreed, English is the majority language, so in sheer numbers there 
will be more that omit dates, but the "omission" itself I believe 
occurs everywhere.

And, sadly, it even happens with websites that *should* know better, 
i.e., the traditional newspaper websites far too often have no dates on 
their articles on the web, meanwhile for their legacy paper they date 
each physical paper as of the day it was published.
