Why we are choosing the month/day/year version of the US date format? How did we make this question “closed”?
Whenever I read a US date I have the problem of figuring out what each number represents. So when I see: 10/11/12 I assume it means “10th November 2012” (which would be the norm for my country) or “12th November 2010” (which would make the most sense to me) but it actually means “11th October 2012” (which will be my first official word)
How did this come into being? If the fundamentality of symmetry is large to smallest then why shouldn’t the order of elements be smaller or larger? What’s more, one says 100-twenty-two, not hundred-two-twenty.
How could this language evolve in America? What does 10/11/12 mean? At the end of the length, there is no way to preserve the order of the shortened version. What would be a perfect English language to be saying out loud to
public?
