  - Agreed. I will say the metric system is the better measurement system but our written dates are better. - Krusty Jul 11, 06:09 5
    - It has to do with the way dates are spoken in English.. - Marlowe Jul 11, 06:29 4

        Honestly, i never trust dates in the number only format here. We see both so often that something like 05/11/17 is meaningless without context. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 11, 06:52 1
        
        yup, makes me happy hwne it is 24/12/17 cause I know it is December but 11/5/17 drives me to drink -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 06:54
  - Yeah, the order of middle-sized unit, then smallest unit, then largest unit makes intuitive sense. -- nm - Roger More Jul 11, 06:03 3

      - I think if you're saying 2 March or March 2, it doesn't matter - people will get what you say no matter what version you use. - Roger More Jul 11, 06:25 1
