Even before I viewed the image, I had thought that it made more sense to follow a logical order in terms of timescale, and obviously smallest to biggest makes sense.

Like our method better. Don't care about what everyone else is doing if it works for us.


Why would anyone care?

When I ask somebody what date today is they'll say "december 12th" not the "the 12 of december."

Therefor Month/Day/Year is infinitely better.

It makes more sense saying the 12th (day) of December than December the 12th (day).


I don't see how it makes any difference.

So it did make a difference when Americans do it but not Europeans? Way to play tennis without a net, bro.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Posted by: Achronos
Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

It is 1120 hours on the 13th day of December in the year 2012.

It is 11:22 post-meridian in the month of December on the 13th day of the year... wait


Can you people not see how convoluted this is?

Yeah I've noticed that and I'm from England. So it's one thing the American version is more logical on, but in terms of writing, I still prefer our way.

Illogicality FTW!

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

The scientific standard for writing out the date is Day-Month-Year, so that's what I stick with, and I'm American. I do all of my banking in that date format as well.

Americans...
dafuq is a pyramid doing to explaim an abstract measurement of ime
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to show how the smallest unit of measurement (day of the montth) is out of place when you consider how other things are generally organised (from small, to medium, to large, and in that order).
With numbers, though, the most significant digit always goes to the left. Dates are the only exception I can think of. The most logical is yyyymmdd.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

I think it just comes down to preference. Many writing formats such as MLA require a dd/mm/yy format, but some require a different one. It all depends on what you grew up with.

Also, metric system is much better for any sort of science or math problem.
