Explain where the logic is in MM/DD/YY. There's absolutely no sense of order. Also, you call armegg "football", and football "soccer".
English

  • January 2nd, 2015. Seems to make absolute sense to me. It's how you sign papers. It's retarded to say 2nd January 2015. There is only 1 January in a year dude.... And cause "Armegg" outright sounds retarded. So we gave it a more basic name. "Soccer" is just as retarded but can't have 2 footballs. Don't be jelly.

  • [quote]It's retarded to say 2nd January 2015. There is only 1 January in a year dude....[/quote] That's why you say the 1st/2nd/3rd [b][i]of[/i][/b] January. Get an education you filthy sewer rat. [quote]And cause "Armegg" outright sounds retarded. So we gave it a more basic name.[/quote] How about coming up with a relevant name that isn't already taken? Smashball? Crush-the-ball-carrier (would also work well with your love for acronyms: "CTBC")? Armball? Duckball? [quote]"Soccer" is just as retarded but can't have 2 footballs.[/quote] Technically, it's 1 football and 1 armegg.

  • It makes more sense if you say the 2nd of January.

    So saying it backwards and adding "of" makes it seem more sensible? Yeah... Good intelligence there... We will go out on the 2nd of January. We will go out on January 2nd. It's shorter and smarter to say it out way. Nuff said.

  • Do you say hunger of Crota or do you say Crota's hunger? Your a special kind of stupid. If a 2 letter word is more difficult for you to say you should retake elementary school.

  • Explain the logic for doing it dd/mm/yy. There isn't any. That's just the way Europeans decided to do it, then Americans decided to change it (probably for the sake of being different).

It's just america (and a few others) that is retarded.

  • In order of length: Seconds/Minutes/Hours/[b]Days[/b]/Weeks/[b]Months[/b]/[b]Years[/b] How is this not making sense to you? The day is way more important than the month. Also, it's in cronological order.

    Why does it matter? You know, it's good that we (Americans) don't don't do everything the same as our European counterparts. For instance, if we fought wars the same as most of Europe, half of your continent would be speaking german right now. Also, when we list time, we do it by hour/minute/seconds, as in 5 hours, 45 minutes, 30 seconds. So why not do it year/month/day/hour/minute/seconds? Diversity is good. Peace brother, I'm out.

  • Because the logic as someone else pointed out, is how dates are written. You write it as January 2nd, 2015. So naturally it becomes 1/2/2015 in shorthand.

    [i]Smh[/i] That doesn't outweight the cronological and size order, because you can write it as [b]2nd of January 2015[/b]. So in a sense; grammar, logic, chronology are all against your way of writing dates. Being different for the sake of being different isn't always good. Your argument is invalid.

    So in Asia writing it 2015/2/1 is wrong too? Cause you're so special yours is right? Someone's just butthurt. You are invalid.

  • Nah, man, China are fine. YY/DD/MM makes more sense than MM/DD/YY. So no, my argument isn't invalid.

  • So they can be different but not anyone else? That is singling out and by doing that you make yourself still invalid.

  • So being special is more important than being able to be understood by- and in the rest of the world? Sounds odd to me, but atleast your consistent in something.
