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.

  • If they are equally logical, then why is one way 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.

Also, Sweden faired well anyways (cus we're double playing shitholes). [quote]Also, when we list time, we do it by hour/minute/seconds, as in 5 hours, 45 minutes, 30 seconds.

  • 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.

  • And conforming because it's the thing to do and no other reason is better? Your argument is 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.
