i'll say it time and time again:
This format is shit and makes no sense
How does it make no sense? I read 2/14 as "February 14th". How do you read 14/2?
Fourteenth of February? Just like Fourth of July.
that's...more words, and more thought, it's only the 4th of July because it's a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.
You know, there are other languages besides English as well
Yeah but God wrote the Bible, the Constitution, and the Star-Spangled Banner in English, so that means it's God's language. Y'all can suck our Freedom!
It's just one more syllable, or one word(no s, because it's not plural). People prefer to say dou ble u dou ble u dou ble u instead of world wide web, and that's even more syllables. It's also arranged in a neat way, from day to month to year.
That's the issue i guess, you guys jump from one format to another and then back and that's considered normal🤷
