[QUOTE=Primigenes;42879627]Really piss off
alot of people from the U.K. don't even attempt to fucking understand the U.S. but have the gall to spout shit like they know everything about our countries culture. For fucks sake you couldn't even understand why our country uses MM/DD/YYYY.
Because really, how fucking hard is it to understand that "We say it like this so thats why our date format is similar." Its not a hard concept but you have to keep saying its illogical because it really needs to be fucking placed in Greater than --> Less than or vice versa in order for it to be logical.[/QUOTE]

Well, YYYY/MM/DD is better than what most Americans use, the MM/DD/YYYY.
[QUOTE=OH-SNAP!;42879446]Who the fuck cares[/QUOTE]
People care enough to start a debate in this thread so...
I like how people are saying the way we organize our dates and our explanation of, "well, that's how we say it so we write it the same way," is the reason why the world has a problem with the United States.
That was pretty funny, maybe you guys could talk about how our use of "color" versus "colour" causes cancer, or maybe world hunger.
we're not here to discuss dates, we're here to discuss babies
Why do you people care about how Americans list there dates?
EDIT: This is probably the biggest and fastest derailing of a thread I have ever seen.
i'm betting there was a kid born at 9:10 on 11-12-13
this baby is irrelivent

Errrm, no.
[I]"Remember, Remember, the fifth of November."
[/I]You start from the most important value, and then go to the above category.
It's no different to street addresses.
10 Smith Street, Petersville, Johns State, Petopia.[/QUOTE]
it's funny how you intentionally fucked up saying the date in order to try and seem smart!
it'd be rewritten to "remember remember november fifth"

America is an independent woman that needs no man to tell her how to measure and say the date.

And that's why she's lonely. Every time she sets up a date, they show up on the wrong day 'cause no one understands what the fuck she means.
