I know I am a bit late. But the whole MM/DD/YYYY thing does make sense for English speakers. It is basically writing it numbers on how your write it properly in English as "Month, Day Year." But it does make sense but like in Japan it goes YY/MM/DD and the reason I put year as only two is because they use the year of reign of the current Emperor but that is because in Japanese you state year then month then date. Sadly I don't know enough European language stuff to see why they developed the DD/MM/YYYY and the YYYY/MM/DD.
Because in Europe you would say "[day] of [month], [year]".

This is not how you write it properly in English, it's how you write it properly in American.

In the glorious colonies of Britannia we believe the date is for other people

Or English as we are taught in school. It isn't that Amurican is better, it is just how we write it. Welcome to world of differentiation of languages over time.

It was the 80's.
I watched that ad all the time as a kid. Mainly because a rural Irish boy had no understanding of black stereotypes, and I liked the theme tune.

For example, today is the 28th of April, 2010.
Annyong!
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
The slo-mo of you riding the dragons stabbin it in the brain is pretty awesome
Hey me too! I didn't realise how appalling it was until many years later.

I know that, just never met a black powder shooter who hunted with it.
On a side note, I don't care for DarkWarrior's "we shouldn't be treating illegal immigrants on the NHS" arguments.

Really?
Hmmm.
I always figured I didn't like sleeping till noon cause it felt like I was wasting the day.
what do archers do, I wonder

In highschool one of my friends hunted black powder, usually kept a regular just in case (In case the dear was packing? I never understood that part).

I want to be a human female noble
I would have to be a warrior
I don't want to be a dual wielder again
hm
maybe this is easier than I thought
March 27th
but when it's like, April 7th, that can get confusing.
If someone's used to MM-DD, they could see 04-09 as "April 9th", but if they are used to DD-MM, they could see it as "September 4th".
then, if a person only uses a two digit format for the year, that can get really confusing.
09-04-10 can be "April 9th, 2010", or "September 4th, 2010", or "April 10th, 2009" or "October 4th, 2009" or...
don't post it before 6 pm est
at like 6:10 i will decide which one is best and close the others
