Amerifag here.Why do we do month/day/year? Day/Year/Month makes so much more sense.Bet you thought this was a doubles threadguess whatit isnt
y/m/d makes so much sense
∆∆ ∆
american system makes much more sense, go to europe you douche
day - month - year!you got nothing of it right there.
year day month idiots...
>>198080338Troll spotted, D/Y/M would make no sense.Besides, Day/Month/Year is far more logical than either.
▲▲ ▲
>>198080493shows how much a typical amerfag knows about other countries
Well duh. Also what do you think about your shitty measurement system? Measuring distance in body parts.. nice
Day/Month/Year makes ALOT more sense.
day/month/year makes sense because it goes from smallest units to largest alternatively year/month/day is also in some order although it's not as useful to see the year first as most people know what year it is already seeing the day first is more useful
>>198080548u mad?
DAY-MONTH-YEARSMALL-BIG-BIGGERfags
larger values go on the left 1024 for example... Ideally it would go Y/M/D however usually the year is an after-thought clarification... so we say M/D and someone asks "what year?" and we fill that in... hence M/D/Y
>>198080743
Someone post that graph showing Amerifag measurements vs Euro measurements
>>198080338Because americans are fucking retards
The reason we here in the UK who btw run the international date/timezones have it as DD/MM/YY is because that is chronological and thats a path of progression as time actually is as we measure it.
Day Month Year is the finest.
>>198080728Nothing on my body is an inch.Anyways, double 80 and 33 on a non-double thread
DD/MM/YY i dont understand why america has it backwardsbut they also changed the english language in to there own broken version and made it us-englishthey just want to be different
>>198080508
There are calendars that go D instead of M/D/Y and they are used for things like astronomy... using months is retarded anway
Neither British (d/m/y) or American (m/d/y) is ideal.Only (y/m/d) will be represented in chronological order when in alphabetical order.
The date is normally the most pressing issue, not many people will ask what month or year we are in.Thus: Day/Month/YearSmall, bigger, biggest.When programming, Y/M/D makes more sense.
Good , someone addresses the issue , you could as well ask why do we use different currency , language etc but unlike those cultural icons , changing the way you americans take 01.02.03 would be much easier so.....DO IT FAGGOT
its because america is so fat and sluggish days are too small for them to perceive that's why they have the month first
We Americans do 2/16/2010 because it's how we say it. February 16, 2010. We are retarded.
>>198080918YOU MUST POST ITT IF YOU THOUGHT IT SAID "SMALL-DICK-DICKER"
>>198080338Day/Year/Month...that makes no sense op...16/2010/02
there are less months than days, month goes firstthere are less days than years, day goes nextthere are an unlimited number of years, year goes lastmakes much more sense than that day month year crap
its 16.2. 2009and nothing elseFAGS
Of course, I still write it like a milfag. 16FEB10
You're all spending more time on this issue than it's worth... all of the time spent in here is greater than the mental flexibility this issue will ever cost...FAGS
Personally, I say we just go with a raw day-count, starting with the first day of the Common Era. Today is 733697.
>>198081556>>198081556How in Christ does that make any practical sense?
I'm American and I can't remember what month it is or how much chicken I just ate. I kinda wish we put the year first then month. The day isn't even really that important now that i think about it- just leave it out
>>198081556You dumb fucker dont seem to understand basic maths read here.>>198081023
>17.02.2010Fix'd
Amerifag here, dd/mm/yy and the metric system make more sense, but weve been using our system for so long that changing it now would buttfuck our whole shit
>>198081874>>198081874>>198081874
>>198081877It makes just as much sense as the other ways about it... seriously, they're all arbitrary and it's trivial to switch between them
>>198081067Your penis.
>>198081556Or just do the smaller measurement to the left, bigger to the right? on 1st december the first number would be bigger anyway under your way of doing the date.
>>198081874733,820 you mean.fag.
It does make more sense, but when you say it outloud you usually say December 25, 2004; generally you wont say its the 25th of December, 2004
america is just scared of change
year, day, month, in this format:2010-02-09Then it is sorted by date with a simple alphanumeric sort. (ie sort by name just by sorting by name)
troll u say?
>>198081983Is it broken? No.Are you trying to fix it? Yes.Does that make you a pointless whiner? Yes.It will not change because we have the overwhelming urge to bitch slap you. Furthermore, annoying you is worthwhile enough to keep it.Why have 1-12 on a clock? Wouldn't it make sense to do it all in radians? Come on guys! Who's with me? Radians!
>>198081091Yes, but you founded us, so its all your fault daddy
>>198082459The hell you say. We have 52 different styles of 25 cent quarters. America loves change
If someone wants to know the date I just tell them the date, not the month or year. If they don't know that they are complete retards.
>>198082409Americans will say December 25, 2004, but we say 25th of December 2004.>>198082201It doesn't though, the D/M/Y system runs chronologically through time, thus making more sense.
metric system kinda kicks ass too
>>198082811Yeah just look how much change Obama has made.
>>198082687Deciclock.10 hours a day, 100 minutes an hour, 100 seconds a minute.Each decisecond being 0.3456 of our current seconds.Come on, Europe. If you're so metric, do THIS, faggots.
>>198082927We've had this discussion and the conclusion is that they both suck so much that it's trivial. However, Planck units makes much more sense and isn't remotely as arbitrary.
2nd of Adar, 5770
americunts scared of metric system for what?and also its dd/mm/yyfaggots
d/m/y and metric system both make more sensewhy do u think we use decimal system instead of fucking binary or hexadecimalCOS ITS FUCKING SIMPLER INIT?
>>198083385Teach kids hex rather than decimal, so they'll be good with programming.Why cripple them with a stupid decimal numeric system?
Month/Day/Year is the american way. and if you dont like america you can GEEIIT OUT
20100216 makes the MOST sense(amerifag here too)
>>198083275We're not afraid of metric. We buy our Coca Cola in 2 liter bottles!
>>198080425^ This.Both Europe and the USA are doing it wrong. YYYYMMDD
>>198080338d/y/m sounds like the sand nigger way of doing things. I bet you think reading right to left makes more sense.
change is what you americunts needdd/mm/yy
>>198082856either is really correct.Fyi amerifag here, but I grew up in England
>>198080338
I love the anti-American sentiment... when you're a global power, we'll hate you too, don't worry...
