Every day I thank god the americans at least use the same time units as everyone else
Except it's nearly always a 12 hour clock :/
The French did try out decimal time, but it never took.
Feel free to switch to metric time if you want. Then you can complain that Americans are still stuck on the old system.
I feel like there are argument for and against. I think people just gotta do it and see whether others pick it up
American here: I find this offensive. This is clearly not an actual, functioning firearm, very unrealistic.
It's a bubble gun.
YYYY/MM/DD hhmm, 24 hour clock gang unite!
(We also support our YYYY.MM.DD and YYYYMMDD compatriots)
YYYY-MM-DD is what most filename formats and sorting algorithms prefer.
I don't care what the separating character is, so long as there is one and a numerical sort will arrange dates in chronological order. =D
YYYY.MM.DD
Hyphens are overrated
YYYY年MM月DD日
embrace the sinographic way.
built in reminder of what each number means too!
unfortunately I prefer 月火水木 over 星期一二三 which is a little less logical but also relates to European names and is more compact
Hyphens for phone numbers
Skip the dots for dates, or optional hyphens
You can say the same thing about the imperial system
But space is so much cooler in the imperial system
The Mars Climate Orbiter is what happens IRL when space even touches the imperial system.
So in the US if you are telling someone a date you say something like 'June 5Th' (year is optional if in current year). How would people in other countries say it?
5th of June, or even still June 5th, because it doesn't have to match the order of the date format.
Also in all other languages where I know how to say the date it's some form of 5th (day of) June. While it is possible to have it the other way around it's really only found in old writings (June's 5th day).
5th of June or June 5th, both are valid. However numeric date format has little to do with how it's said. yyyy-MM-dd (and seperator variants) has the benefit of being orderable and indexable chronologically.
Here we say 5 June
"Fifth June" in German.
That pistol looks like a repainted Skippy from Cyberpunk 2077
Except for the US military (unless it's changed in the last 20 years). We used 19 May 2024.
The maximum number of numbers for months is 12, the maximum number of days is 30 and years is infinite. Mathematically, it makes sense.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
