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.
