I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Americans write the date the way we would say it. August 9th 2023.

Wait, you mean the last 2 are, in all fact, the same, exact, thing?

That’s what kills me about people who rag on Americans.

We order our dates the way we say them, and we use a temperature system is a great way to describe feeling heat.

I’ve got no defense for imperial measurements beyond scooping up a cup of flour is easier than dumping it on a scale.

But people spend more energy shitting on the cultural norms of Americans than anyone else (especially Europeans) and then spend a lot of time telling us we have no culture.

Aug 9, 2023 and 08/09/23 literally say the same thing.

The first isn’t ambiguous at all; the second is hella ambiguous.

It’s only ambiguous because there’s a second standard.

Is 08/09/2023 August or September? What about 08.09.2023? Do you see where the problem lies?
