Poll: Dating...help me solve this problem

[Americow]

My friends and I invented a language called American. It's English, but all the adjectives are changed to badass.

 

[magnus gallant]

day/month/year

most specific to least

easy as that

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

As an American, I have to say:

Day/Month/Year

Seriously, why do we insist on doing everything different from the rest of the world? We need to go metric and day/month/year and stop the confusion.

 

[kelsyk]

I add an initial before the number to make it clear.

eg. December 4, 1973 -> M12/D04/Y73

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

I live in America, and even I find it much more efficient to just put them in ascending order, Day/Month/Year. Why it is necessary to so different with either measuring, temperature, or anything else is beyond me.

 

[ChaoticLegion]

It's only in America that I've come across that puts the month first. It makes more sense to go from smallest interval to biggest, but America insists on being different.

Couldn't agree more, dd/mm/yyyy Is how the majority of the globe does it... American just feels the need to be different for some unbeknownst reason ...(eletist pricks)... huh... wha..?

 

[Thaius]

In America, we do month/day/year. Also...

Yes, metric > american.

You have won this thread. Actually, you have won pretty much everything. Screw the American measurement systems: honestly, whoever came up with that crap is a moron. Metric is logically designed and easy to understand. I still can't remember how many freaking feet are in a mile: most random number ever.

 

[Lucifron]

The only two logical choices on that list would be y/m/d or d/m/y, and as the latter is the most widely used, there you have it.

I cannot understand why the States insist on their insipid date format.

 

[Schlorgan]

Ah, I thought this was the kind of dating you did with girls, lol!

 

[nick_knack]

Silly Americans. You just have to do everything different, don't you?

DD/MM/YY

 

[Call4Duty]

I prefer Day/Month/Year if you're going to abbrev it. Yeah, you would say March 16, 2010. But that kind of implies you should write it as March 16, 2010, which is what I usually do. If you're going to do it numerically, I think DMY just makes more sense.

 

[Hutchy_Bear]

This title is misleading.

Anyway Day/Month/Year. A because I'm English and B because it is the best way.

 

[thepj]

wow that's a misleading title, dd/mm/yy is how it should be done

 

[tbbrownah]

Not all of us, mate. It's not polite to generalize.

 

[tbbrownah]

Not all of us Americans do mm/dd/yyyy. It's not polite to generalize, y'know.

 

[tbbrownah]

Sorry about multiple replies. Google Chrome is screwy.

 

[Baron Von Evil Satan]

Let's settle this once and for all.

Eurofags = day/month/year

Americunts = month/day/year

Additionally, yes metric > american

 

[Insanum]

Day:Month:Year - It even works in size.

Month is longer than a day, Year is longer than a month. It just works[/I]!
