Day/Month/Year - How is this not a global standard?

[The Original Bamfer]

Today is 11/01/11 not 01/11/11.

Your way makes no sense!

Mako makes this thread matter now.

He sounds like Mr. Miyagi if he smoked 1000 Marlboro's.

Seriously, where are you from, Gamma Ray?

 

[Immortalfire]

Today is January 12, 2011. Not the 12th of January, 2011.

1-12-11. Not 12-1-11.

Why do most calendars go Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs/Fri/Sat when people consider Monday the start of a new week?

I'm actually Quoting the Nostalgia Critic's comment on Mako's voice in TMNT.
Though in the original quote it was a million not a thousand.

I also think d/m/y makes the most sense.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

It's almost like Spider-Man is spanish is Hombre Arana which means Man-Spider.

 

[Harls]

It's almost like Spider-Man is spanish is Hombre Arana which means Man-Spider.

Is it really? I thought things like that (names, especially) were still just in English. Like, Batman literally in French is "homme de chauve soris" (probably butchered the spelling, sorry), which means "Man of Bats", but since he's a trademark name I'd think it'd still be "Batman". I could be wrong, though; I think it's interesting.

 

[BlackSymbiote]

I actually prefer day/month/year, but I don't use it 11/01/11, instead I use 11 January 2011, mostly because it's less confusing and can't be mistaken for 1 November.

Batman is Batman in my country, even though earlier like in the latin dub of the Adam West series, and in earlier comics, even Batman TAS Bruce Wayne was known to us as "Bruno Díaz", and Dick Grayson would be "Ricardo Tapia".

Spider-Man on the other hand, was called "Hombre Araña" in the dubbed version of the 3 films and I think even in the Spectacular Spider-Man. But in Spider-Man TAS, it was called Spider-Man. Weird.

I also think d/m/y makes the most sense.

Yeah, but, you're Canadian.

 

[Danalys]

i found year/month/day useful in naming files if there creation date wasn't as important as the date it referred to. but yeah biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest makes more sense. and centigrade is better, and driving on the left is better, so you don't have to shift with your right hand. there's plenty of other things that are wrong in the english way of doing things so don't go trying to rob us of the things we do right.

keep in mind that your day starts when we say so cos it's all based around GMT. so there are international standards based around the english way.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Having the day in the middle is like two older brothers protecting their little, baby sister. Aww.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Hahahaha, oh that face!

 

[Kane52630]

Today is 11/01/11 not 01/11/11.

 

[bell110]

How about we come to a compromise. We'll switch to the metric system, but everybody else has to switch to mm/dd/yyyy.

 

[chaseter]

Today is 11/01/11 not 01/11/11.

Ew.

People who say the eleventh of January and not January eleventh are icky. It is January eleventh so 01/11/2011.

 

[chaseter]

Today is January 12, 2011. Not the 12th of January, 2011.

1-12-11. Not 12-1-11.

Oh wait fire beat me to it. I will get you next time.

Yeah in South America Batman is simply Batman instead of the correct translation of "Hombre Murcielago".

Spider-Man on the other hand, was called "Hombre Araña" in the dubbed version of the 3 films and I think even in the Spectacular Spider-Man. But in Spider-Man TAS, it was called Spider-Man. Weird.

The Incredible Hulk is often confusing since he's known as "La Mole" or "Hombre Increible"

 

[Spidey-Bat]

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

If firefighters fight fires and crime fighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight?

 

[The Original Bamfer]

My mind is being blown right now... and please don't challenge that phrase.

 

[Ponyboy]

day/month/year... smallest to greatest makes the most sense... I can quickly tell d/m/yr and m/d/yr apart. It's not a challenge or anything.
