Re: Only in America
You shouldn't be logical with Seth. It confuses him, and then he makes up yet more fairy tales about the Galtian paradise.

American date formatting, rEv. It rules - in the US - and US citizens of the Gallstones variety don't give a fuck about what the other 6.7 billion people in the rest of this globe think. USA! Ra Ra Ra!

Re: Only in America
Indeed. I can see the reasoning behind a high - middle - low sequence of listing time units as well as the reverse, but going from month down to day, then up again to year is totally retarded.

Re: Only in America
Oh, I see. Formatting a date in a proper sequence is clear evidence for caring less about what month it is than what day.Seth wrote:It's because we care more about what month it is than what day it is.Hermit wrote:Indeed.

Re: Only in America
So, about 30 times less precise than the rest of the world...Seth wrote:It's because we care more about what month it is than what day it is.Hermit wrote:Indeed.

I suppose it's better than putting the year first...
