No one cares about your ancient way of telling dates. Get with the times sucka
English

Get with the times? You just don't appreciate there are other countries in the world apart from 'Murica.

This seems like a contradiction, the op listed their prefer date methodology and got bashed because theirs didnt conform to others ideal methodology. In this example the op is american and the bashers are i presume European so how is it Americans are not appreciating others when its the opposite? The whole argument about which is right is stupid because all it is which one each of us were taught growing up. Chronological makes sense but only because its been around and accepted other then that its nothing. Month, date, year makes sense in speech and writing while day month and year makes sense numerically.

[quote]Month, date, year makes sense in speech[/quote] This is [b]only[/b] because it's what you were taught. But nice try. Logic > america
-
The argument is not stupid, arguing about it is. The most common form of date representation that has been used since hundreds and hundreds of years before America even existed is DD/MM/YY It's no surprise that if you post a date then there's a good chance someone is going to assume it's in the most common format unless they have prior knowledge of the posters nationality.

He's saying all other calendars are wrong and his is right.
-
Or maybe other countries have to feel get are right on everything and no one should be different. I don't respect arrogance, which comes from most other places in more abundant amounts.
-
Your reply is of no relevance to the argument what so ever.
-
Explain where the logic is in MM/DD/YY. There's absolutely no sense of order. Also, you call armegg "football", and football "soccer".
-
* the English named it soccer, is short for association. Good day
-
Oh, so that's why it's still called football in England?
-
*and anywhere else outside the US.
-
Lmao armegg. Took me longer than I care to admit to work out what u ment there.
-
It's from Monty Python I think :p

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.

Edited by ShadowLordVegas: 1/1/2015 9:12:15 AMSo 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.
-
"Smarter"... You never finished school did you?
-
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).

[quote]Explain the logic for doing it dd/mm/yy. There isn't any.

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.

Edited by jsteelfex: 1/1/2015 4:31:51 PMWhy 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.
