I remember in high school a friend waited until 10/10/10 to ask a girl out so he’d never forget their anniversary. I think they dated for like a month lol
Yeah but God wrote the Bible, the Constitution, and the Star-Spangled Banner in English, so that means it’s God’s language. Y’all can suck our Freedom!
It’s just one more syllable, or one word(no s, because it’s not plural). People prefer to say dou ble u dou ble u dou ble u instead of world wide web, and that’s even more syllables. It’s also arranged in a neat way, from day to month to year.
it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.
That’s the issue i guess, you guys jump from one format to another and then back and that’s considered normal🤷
I find it hilarious that the imaginary 14th month gets to be called “12th” because (ostensibly) the early Romans couldn’t be bothered to have winter months.
In most contexts, “/” means something like “(out) of”, and “14 of 2” makes a lot more sense than “2 of 14” when describing the fourteenth of February (or February fourteenth, as you would say it).
Pretty weak reasoning. It just as often “or” like this/that. If not more— who’s actually looking at fractions that often? I’d argue the punctuation attached to that specific date format shouldn’t be the basis for the order itself, and dashes or periods are common too.
The better reasoning is that the day is typically more relevant than the month. A downside though is that it’s bad for sorting: YYYY-MM-DD is the best way to automatically sort by date, and ease in digital sorting is arguably the most important factor in date formatting. It’s kind of a silly thing that people don’t care about outside of memes otherwise.

10/10 plan
10 percent of the time it works 10 percent.
Let me guess, instead of asking out another girl on 11/11/11 he played Skyrim?

It’s not a bad idea, that’s why I got married on 2/14 so I wouldn’t get stuck having to have an extra gift giving holiday.
i’ll say it time and time again:
This format is shit and makes no sense
How does it make no sense? I read 2/14 as “February 14th”. How do you read 14/2?
Fourteenth of February? Just like Fourth of July.
that’s…more words, and more thought, it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.
You know, there are other languages besides English as well
