- tatersolid 9y agoThe middle-endian format makes perfect sense as it is the same order of elements used in spoken English: “April 22nd 2017” = “4/22/2017”. I’ve never heard anyone say “22nd of April 2017” in normal conversation. Maybe on a wedding invite.
- jazoom 9y agoBased on our conversation I'm guessing you're American. FYI: In Australia we say "22nd of April 2017".
- tatersolid 9y agoYes, but I also understand you folks like to flush your toilets in the wrong direction and drive on the wrong side of the road. Date word order seems trivial by comparison. We’re two countries separated by a common language.
