Does the date format MM/DD/YYYY sometimes cause confusion?

@iMystery 👍

@iMystery 29 October 2018 should not be strange. Adding the 'OF' is extraneous and he's the one accusing you of adding words. Which is not me arguing either should be understood but it's strange to make the argument he is.

@SW-User 😅 I didn't want to waste time pointing that out, but thanks!

@YukikoAmagi In Italy we use metric system etc, but tbh the other doesn't bothers me a lot, maybe cause I see it often on the internet etc. I know an inch is 2,54 cm, a feet is about 31 cm etc.

By the way I'm not used to pounds (every time I must check it) and Farenheit instead of Celsius. Those two are annoying LOL.

@Sharky86 and use Italia instead of Italy 😎

@YukikoAmagi You're right. I don't know why I use it, cuz for example I prefer to use the actual names of the cities (romanized), but when it comes to countries I go for the English version...
Like about Ital...ia XD I say Milano, Napoli, Firenze, Roma etc, instead of Milan, Naples, Florence, Rome...

Only the USA matters@iMystery

@AnneHoney Yeah that's what I thought... the infamous American arrogance.

No arrogance just facts. Most important country sets the standard. @iMystery

@SweetMae That's what we use in my country too.

@Lakers4523 Seems logical to me

@CheshireCatalyst "Properly" has become debatable as someone pointed out to me that because AMERICA does it MM/DD/YYYY, this is the "proper" way and all other countries should basically fall in line because "only America matters" 🙄

@iMystery yeah normally I'm not so militant, but it's so clearly illogical. It would be like writing the first word in a sentence in the middle, or counting 2, 1, 3.

@CheshireCatalyst 🤣 That's how I view it too!

@Dusty101 same which was great as the barmen thought i was 21 before i was lol

@daveegan111 😂
I got a fake drivers licence!
Fooled all the barstaff! 😅😜😏

@SW-User The other day I experienced confusion over a date which was discussed in an email where the person made it 11/10/2018 and I needed to search for something on that date...

I could not find anything and there were a few email exchanges (almost an argument). When I eventually called the person he said "I am sure the date is the 10th of November".... 🙄

I said his email stated 11th of October... he checked and said "Nope I typed 11/10/2018 which is 10th of November" I then laughed and said "well to me that is 11th of November" 🤣.

Yes he is from another country.

@iMystery that's when you have to figure out where they're from lol, at least it wasn't the other way around and it gets missed by a month 😅

Whenever I'm writing to someone whose nationality I don't know, I always write it as "11 Nov 2018" so there's no ambiguity.

@SW-User Yeah I usually do that too.

@CrazyMusicLover 👀 some believe that is the way it SHOULD be because that's how THEY do it...

@SW-User Again... as your South African? 🤔

🤔 The choice still have to be made in settings of tv's and phones/computers and so on

@Nineateseven It always confuses me when I see it... just glad we use DD/MM/YYYY in my country lol

I dont think we use that

@SW-User Me too.. ALWAYS

@MethDozer that makes sense too!

@MethDozer We say 29th October so... yeah 🤷‍♂️
