8/11 you konw, you americans are strange. why is the it the month first
then the day? confusing since the month changes only 12 times, but
the day everyday.. wouldn't it make more sense this way?
\_ You French people are strange using military time rather than
twelve hour clocks.
\_ military time makes SO MUCH more sense. DST is also the
dumbest thing this country has... that and GWB running for prez
\_ MTF! The only thing wrong with DST is that we end it in OcT.
We should be tacking on more hours until we can eat dinner at
10pm and still watch the sun set. You don't understand this
because your freakish Euro sun doesn't set till 10pm in the
summer already. BTW, I'd hate it if my files were dated by
day and then month.
\_ Military time makes sense if YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY! I'm
not and quite happy with my AM/PM. Thanks for the chance
to convert to a different yet still completely arbitrary
'standard' for marking time. If you knew anything about
this country, you'd know why DST makes perfect sense.
\_ I dunno about this one, but some of th US's bizarre habits
date from right after the Revolution. Supposedly, we were
trying to be different from the British.
\_ No. We continued to follow British standards such as feet and
pounds and which side of the road. The British changed later.
Why do completely ignorant people try to answer simple questions
on the motd? Oh yes, it's the motd. Silly of me. As far as
the original question: We don't say "12th of November, 1999".
We say, "November 12th, 1999". This turns into months first.
So, no, you foreign fuck. It doesn't make more sense to use
your ill conceived notions of what makes sense. I suppose you
might think it makes sense to appease terrorists too. |
