Data is always listed in relevant order.

Listing the day of month before stating which month is as stupid as listing fraction of second before the actual seconds.

It'll take a while, most likely 20-30 years, but they will adapt.

Most likely at the same time as Brits stop calling a pint for a pint, when it's been 50 cl for years ;)

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

…so listing the date first is not particularly strange, since it depends on the contextual relevance. If you're only looking at days and months, for instance, the day is usually more important since the month only says whether it's this friday, or one in the future (or past). Blink

We here in America like changing things just to **** off the rest of the world. Standard system over metric, Soccer instead of Football, Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, and mm-dd-yyyy instead of yyyy-dd-mm.

Considering almost everywhere else (not just Europe) uses the correct way (ie: Not the American way) it would appear to be America that is backwards.


When the US rejected Britain's rule, they pretty much made an effort to change anything they associated with it, just to be different. I'm pretty sure that's what happened anyway.

Relevant or sequential. dd/mm/yy is sequential, as related to which passes faster. On a digital clock of course, you would see the numbers switch progressively, as a timer.

Written, it is often expressed Month day, such as May 14th. This can be viewed as analog dating if you wish, with 05/14 simply being a shortened form of the analog representation. I don't see this as confusing, but it may be so without a known context. In this case, we know the context, and that it is not actually May of 2014 instead because it was given to us.

Why? Do they think it's some kind of ZOG conspiracy or what? What happens when the highway patrol pulls them over?

I mean, I can't see the connection between EVE and white supremacy, so the connection between driving against traffic and white supremacy is just… weird. Ugh

Why are EUROs driving against traffic? I mean, sure, it's a silly thing to do and they are kind of a silly bunch of people, but I don't quite see the connection between the activity and the ideology.

Yes, but why are they doing it? Is it because they think driving on the right side of the road is some kind of ZOG conspiracy (because that's who right-wing organisations like that usually blame)?
