this is why no one respects you

>Pleeease, england sirs, we really really miss you and want you to take us back. Look, we're still holding on to your language and traditions! We're sorry about 1760, it was a mistake and we'll never do it again, promise. We know we are incapable of winning any wars without your help, and we're really scared of Russia... Pleeeeease take us back into your loving embrace, we urgently need you to teach us how to navy now that China has aircraft carriers.

I like that you don't make any arguments about the merits, or lack thereof, of any specific date format. Instead you just make emotional appeals to 'what everyone else is doing' and use it to justify your actions. Just like a woman.
gpt
Nah, not emotional appeals. Just mocking you for being backwards. A bit like a village idiot.
>everyone's living in houses
>i shall live in a mud hut
>that'll make them respect me
You want a merit? Fine. Ease of communication. If everyone else is using a standardized system of units (which they are) except you (which you aren't) then you are simply being awkward for awkward's sake. It's not a matter of fitting in, it's a matter of not being that one annoying faggot who's trying sooo hard to be different. People around talking english? I'll talk spanish, just to piss them off. It's just easier for everyone if we all agree on some things, purely for the sake of an easier life for everyone. If you're so adamant that you have to be different, why aren't you using 13 month years? Using the gregorian calendar is 'what everyone else is doing' after all.

To be extra clear so that even a yank will understand; I'm not emotional, I'm mocking you.

lmao dude your argument is still about fitting in.
But as far as formats, in English, in casual conversation you say 'our appt is on Dec 1st' or 'yeah we'll be gone from Dec 20th through the end of the year' or 'oh my birthdays on Feb 13th.' Much more rarely does one say 'oh it's the 12th of October.' And absolutely no one says 'Yes it's 25th November.' Therefore, we write our days mm/dd/yy.

In languages other than English that might not be the case, and that's fine whatever. I actually don't care about the dates, that was just my clue that OP was probably european, and therefore retarded.

To be extra clear so that even a europoor will understand: much like a non-white cannot insult a White person, non-Americans cannot insult Americans.

Also yeah... lets just not talk about little somalia--I mean the UK.

eh, classic american with an inferiority complex towards europeans
