@Natasha_Jay Not sure if that's enough. I'd say we need to invoke the trade bazooka in this case.

@Natasha_Jay "I used to not be political until the radical left started forcing DD/MM/YY down our throats, now for some reason I have strong opinions on the value of an ethnically diverse society."

@Natasha_Jay ISO 8601 or bust.
@JessTheUnstill @Natasha_Jay after screwing it up a couple times, I had an Australian colleague say "Big to small!"
I've never made a mistake with 8601 again

You forgot AM/PM, inches, feet, ounces and miles

@Natasha_Jay I live in the US and work with people in the US mostly. I have taken to writing dates in DD Mon YYYY format. It’s just got the least ambiguity and also the D-M-Y progression makes way more sense.
Not that this American custom is the only uniquely backwards one

@wendinoakland @Natasha_Jay @stux aspiring, yes! married one, to boot! It’s all in the master plan! Canadians get it, casually bopping back and forth, no one is confused.

Sometimes it’s metric, others it’s imperial. Let’s just get it done. It must be confusing to live between two such extremely different “parents”.

It makes it more fun to mix. Heck same in the states! 2 liter of coke, gallon of milk, running a 5K, bike riding a 20 miler.
Life’s short, variety is the spice of life!
