minus-squareBigDiction@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-221 days agoI knew I would eat shit for that comment. July 4th is a funny example cause you can say “the 4th” and everyone knows what you mean, but people also say “4th of July” to give it more importance. That’s a lot less common for other dates, Americans aren’t commonly saying “25th of December”.
minus-squareParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·21 days agoI always feel like rolling my eyes whilst Americans slowly drawl the month at me before telling me the day of the month I wanted “Dec…” Oh god, you’re American “…em…” Here we go, we’re going for it “…berrrrr” Yes, we’re getting there “…rrrrrrr” Hopefully we get to the date, or I’m going to have to ask someone else [inhales] Why did it have to be an American “Twenty….” Please not the year “…-seventh” Hallelujah, thank the lord, we have a date. Oh Jesus, why such an ordeal. So much time for stupid intrusive thoughts. What was it again…? Admittedly like most of this is my failings as a person
minus-squaredantel@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·21 days agoOk, let me rephrase that: See how 4th of July feels natural for you to say or hear? That’s because you’re used to it. That’s how it is for the rest of us using DD-MM-YYYY, but for all dates. Because that’s what we are used to. And yes we use it in everyday life and in every conversation. That is all there is to it.

Why did it have to be an American
“Twenty….”
Please not the year
“…-seventh”
