Why are Americans so retarded and use the M/D/Y date format, although their national holiday is called "Fourth of July"?

All other non-green and non-blue cunts, please consider using the ISO8601 format.
Thanks!

Why are Germans so retarded and say ein hundert funf und zwanzig even though it's written 125?
>>
>>76323077
Why do you say thir-teen, four-teen, etc?
>>
>>76322595
The only other country that does it is apparently Portugal, so I guess it's a freemason thing
>>
>>76323262
Are you fucking retarded? Take a look at the map...

>>76322595
So, Canada is like everyone's bitch?

reverse it the othe way around and you get what most of the planet agrees makes the most sense

ISO was standardised so you had easier time sorting on a computer.

>>76323077
>ein hundert funf und zwanzig
that's ridiculous.
>>
>>76322641
This. It's clearly superior.

>>76323356
No it doesn't. You go from big to small. It's logical. The same way you wouldn't write the time as 55:13 because that's fucking retarded.
>>
>>76324677
For daily use, the smaller time unit is more important, so D-M-Y makes sense.
For historical recording purposes, then the Y-M-D format makes more sense.
M-D-Y is irredeemably retarded
>>
>>76323321
no

we're radical centrists
>>
>>76322595
When you say the date you say it's <Month> <day>.
"Fourth of July" is the proper noun for the holiday which falls on July 4th.
>>
>>76323321
Anglos use both D/M/Y or M/D/Y

Frenchies only use D/M/Y

The government uses Y/M/D on official shit
>>
>>76325691
And all formats are equally retarded, because nobody knows which one is being used... Canadians are uniquely retarded.

THE correct format is "YYYY-MM-DD".
Or use "DD.MM.YYYY" or "DD.MM" when it's more casual.
