Judging by the date, that was 3 months ago
Usian weird measure system is one thing, it is at least easy identifable. But that illogical date format is just straight up fucking wrong.
Seems like a lot of anglo standards and measurements are done to make everything as illogical and confusing as possible. NASA wrecked a Mars robot entry over imperial unit conversions iirc.
ISO8601 makes the most sense: general to specific, year-month-day, and it sorts on computers well too. I forget which countries use that general to specific format, I think Chinese language does tho.
what's worse: yankoid date format or yankoid temperature units?
Date format. Temperature is weird but unlike lenght and weight i basically never even had to really calculate it, it's usually clear from the context if it's hot or cold and it's enough for casual reading. But date is often delivered without the context and can seriousy confuse you if you don't know it's a murican one.
