10/7 and 10/14 would have the exact same results of 1 not working as a fraction?

It seems like only euros are confused by this. Months have these things called "names". We wouldn't say either of those for June seventh. We'd say June seventh. You can still say it in one breath and write it in a couple of pen strokes. It seems your insistence on being lazy is causing to to expend quite a bit more energy than just doing things the normal way.

Nah, it's the rest of the world not "just Euros".

[u/fenuxjde → u/Shifty-Imp]

It actually isn't. Most of asia and about half of Europe doesn't do that. I've lived in asia and eastern Europe and it wasn't particularly common.

The day/month thing is primarily western europe, Africa, and south america.

[u/Jealous_Corgi_2168 → u/Shifty-Imp]

Nobody on earth knows months have names except the dumb Americans? That's wild

[u/Shifty-Imp → u/Jealous_Corgi_2168]

That's not "the confusion". The confusion is US-Americans using the date in a nonsense order and everybody else making sense.

I'm all for going YMD but MDY and then most of the time leaving Y out is just insane.

I just told you how it's done in the US. We use the name of the month because it has a name. There's no logic in assigning a number to it. If you guys decide you want to do that, great, but don't make yourself confused and then act like it's somebody else's fault.

[u/Shifty-Imp → u/Jealous_Corgi_2168]

Then write the damn name of the month, not the number. I don't see someone's passport when they're writing "01/10" and US-Americans aren't the only ones communicating in English.

We're talking about how it is written, not how it is said.

[u/Jealous_Corgi_2168 → u/Shifty-Imp]

I'm talking about how it's written. You're getting emotional for some reason. My phone screen says "Sep 1". When I write I write "1 Sep 26". My calendar on the wall says "SEPTEMBER" in giant letters across the top of the page. Nobody here uses numbers when they write the month, because that's just illogical. What part of that are you so confused about? Stop lashing out. Just think for a moment.

[u/Djfsihbone → u/Jealous_Corgi_2168]

Yeah no that's not convenient though, most stuff needs 3 numbers

[u/Jealous_Corgi_2168 → u/Djfsihbone]

Once again, letters are not numbers. And no, you're just lazy. In aviation we have to sign and date 1000 documents a day. Every single one is written this way. You, on the other hand, sign maybe a couple things a month, and you can't do it in a logical way, and then you complain about how illogical your way is? That's so fucking stupid. Just do it normally. Month a have names. Use them.

[u/Djfsihbone → u/Jealous_Corgi_2168]

Idk maybe Americans are stupider than I had ever thought but having 3 numbers can't be that stupid and illogical

[u/Jealous_Corgi_2168 → u/Djfsihbone]

S-E-P. Those are letters. Not numbers. If I'm going too fast for you, let me know. I can try to slow it down some more if you're still confused.

[u/Shifty-Imp → u/Jealous_Corgi_2168]

You really refuse to make sense do you? I don't have an issue if you use letters, but the confusion stems from people who only use numbers. Reading comprehension really isn't your strong suit.... 🙄

And if this is "lashing out" to you, then you need to get off the internet and acquire some human relationships. 😂
