It's moronic that they drive on the wrong side of the road, but a road system is a lot more established than a date system, so I'm quite prepared to let it go.

Quote:Further, for all intents and purposes, news outlets and history books for that country (typically in their own language) record the accurate date translated into whatever format that country prefers.

History book exists that calls the 11/9/2001 attack what it is (that is to say: 11/9/2001)? I don't believe you. Because history isn't about how we prefer things to happen. Or it is. But it's supposed to be something 'factual', especially 'modern' history that can be verified.

Quote:So when I was learning to read French, I didn't demand the French change to American dating format, I just remembered that among other things the French stated their dates differently. Which, being American, I figured was the least I could do.

French language: that is another stupid thing. Let's add fifteen useless vowels and 3 silent consonants to this sentence for absolutely no reason! Big Grin

But it's hard to change a whole language. A moronic convention for presenting the date is really quite easy to change, though at this point it probably requires presidential action.

Quote:September 11 happened on American soil. Too bad for the rest of the world if our numerical dating system for that particular event bothers them. They didn't get hit. If they experience something similar, we will take their correct date into account and either translate it into our format or call the event by whatever name they choose.

Normandy invasion occurred on non-american soil... america calls it D-day because it was named as such until the day of the planned landing was actually known. That in itself is incredibly stupid. Whether a bunch of other nations also refer to that invasion in the 1940's as 'D-day' or not is a question of world stupidity.

It's still stupid. And getting hit by something means you deserve full rights to name it/state the facts behind it? I'll be sure to use that next time I get hit by a car. I'll call it 'Mishtufarlksa', and it was the other guy's fault.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
