and isn't even truly a static constant within the US. People tend to prefer one or the other, or use them interchangeably lol. It only furthers confusion.

D/M/Y is a more logical progression, given the smallest to largest amount of time order.

Hell even in speech, some people in the US will say "The 11th of November" rather than "November 11th" sometimes. It's very inconsistent.


november 11th - short sweet, to the point.
the 11th of november - long and drawn out, makes you sound like a prick.

Yeah days, months and years are still considered units of time so should go smallest to largest. Seconds, minutes and hours are also the same but you wouldn't write 20 past 3 as 20:15.

lol oh noes 2 more syllables.

I come from Detroit though, and everyone seems to speak as little as possible. People will be cramming entire sentences into a single word. lol

I'm guilty of it myself in a lot of ways I don't say "It's good" I say "s'good" and I don't even finish the word whatever, it's clipped to "whatev' " I really don't even say good actually, it's more like "g'd" especially when I say "g'd mornin' " or "g'd evenin' "

you write it like you say it.

Most places in the world say it d/m/y. We're one of the few exceptions here in the U.S.

so go ahead and celebrate 4/20
oh wait, you choose to make it non existent.

You celebrate Hitler's birthday?

We can't celebrate 13/12/11, which they will in 2 years, so I call it a push...
