I'm totally not prepared to reprint books and remake everything else that uses a date that doesn't have the option already built into it to reflect a different date system unless it's absolutely necessary.

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.

I'm not sure how translating a date format equates to "how we prefer things to happen" in history. It's a fucking date, and it's the "name" of the event "9/11" which people love to note as "9-1-1" that would stay the same. If they can't understand the date aspect of it, they can certainly understand that in the US, 9-1-1 is our emergency code.

Moronic is a matter of opinion. If I'm looking for something in a historical context, *I* would actually like the date to be first - filter things from biggest to smallest. What year? What month? What day. That's my opinion though.

(May 2, 2011 at 1:16 pm)Aerzia Saerules Arktuos Wrote: 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.

Did the French or English come up with another name to call it?

(May 2, 2011 at 1:16 pm)Aerzia Saerules Arktuos Wrote: 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.
I'm not sure how a date format changes the facts behind the event. It's a format. It's not a denial of what day it happened on.

If you get hit by a car and it makes the news, call it whatever you want.
