stoffe Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It's DD/MM/YY, bitches. What gives man, no polls allowed on this goddamn zombie of a forum. I prefer YYYY-MM-DD, leaves less ambiguity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Except... we don't use it that way! It would never be read out loud like that. We'd just say: twelve four twentytwelve" or "December fourth, Twentytwelve." The arrangement of the dates is culturally implied and no one has any trouble understanding it. ^_^ See, that's what's wrong with you Americans. You only see the superficial side of things, never questioning, never reasoning, never looking deeper. Have you ever questioned as to whatever Twelve Four TwentyTwelve is supposed to even mean?

You only see the superficial side of things, never questioning, never reasoning, never looking deeper. Have you ever questioned as to whatever Twelve Four TwentyTwelve is supposed to even mean? You know, sabre, that REM made a song quite a while ago which goes a little like this: "It's the end of the world and I feel fine!" Well, that's the American attitude towards that date. Why do we feel fine about it? We're not ignorant of it-- oh no. How could we be ignorant if we're planning World Domination the very same day? In fact, sabre, you might say that the the prophecy was about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
