I swear to all the gods that the second worst fucking thing about the US of A after their fucking imperialism and its consequences is their fucking date system of MM/DD/YYYY.

ISO 8601: exists

The US of A: Ne'er heard of it, pardner.

@Illuminatus are the imperial versus SI units part of the imperialism, or part of lack of respect for standards?

@juandesant Imperial? The fucking Yanks do not have any kind of consistence with that either: US pints are 16 fluid ounces, while the British pints are 20 fluid ounces, that's 20% less of volume. How's that for any kind of rational measuring system!?

@Illuminatus can’t they make the difference up in volume?

Sorry, I’ll show myself off.

@Illuminatus I LIVE IN the US & it's made me nuts more or less forever. (Team YYYY-MM-DD, here.)

@Illuminatus don't you count this as part of "their ridiculous units"?
