Damn you 'murica! (date related issue)

[Marco Martinho]

So... as an european, the date for me is:

 

Day/Month/Year (which is logical way )

 

But in countries like 'murica, they use Month/Day/Year

 

So, lessons aside... I want to know what day and month are shown as the release date

Since the site is from the american store... it should be 11th of may, right?

 

Damn... im confused! :blink:

[miyabwah]

Yes, May 11th.

[Marco Martinho]

Yes, May 11th.

 

Thank you!

As an American I don't understand why it is done that way in America. The European way seems much more logical because it goes in order

LOL

[nj4ck]

so annoying, same metric vs. imperial. imperial makes no goddamn sense at all and they know it, but nobody in the US feels like going through the work of finally switching over.

[TechTheWorld]

Because 'Murica.

I'll also use the metric system whenever prudent.  :unsure:

You dodged a bullet there. B)  **

It's opposite for US when it comes to things that seem common for Europeans. Considering the majority of the world uses metric and only a small handful of countries (3 if I recall correctly), yeah, I don't get it either.

[The_Strict_Nein]

My teaching explained it to me that the Amerian way should really go Year-Month-Day as you are getting more precise as you go forward, unlike the European way where you go less precise

[IdeaStormer]

Everyone needs to follow the standards, both of the formats listed by the OP are wrong!

Should be YYYY-MM-DD, for date.

[TopWargamer]

Should be YYYY-MM-DD, for date.

This is what I use, just saying.

I'm sorry but the the temperature shit is a stupid argument.water doesn't make universe work, It's illogical. Fahrenheit is in no way inferior

It's inferior through perception when tasked with the measurement of water. That we know water freezes at 32F and boils at 212F should tell you water is pretty important to us humans. Moving those points to 0 and 100 to be more inline with a decimal system makes logical sense. Does it make a good standard in a universal sense? Kelvin used it.

Am old School, I was brought up learning both systems, at School was taught the metric system but in the real world had to use the imperial system, its just they the real world works.
