That's my point exactly. It's an international audience but it's also an informal social environment where we can't expect everybody to be cognizant of that fact at every moment and make adjustments for it.
As such, you shouldn't be too strict about what you feel is the "logical" way of doing things.
Anyway, according to alexa, the great majority of HN readers are from the US - https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ycombinator.com https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ycombinator.com

It's only slightly more than half! > we can't expect everybody to be cognizant of that fact That's why I remind people. Use international standards/formats and be less insular. (And FFS, go metric ;)
- hungerstrike 9y ago57% is the greatest number on that chart. I didn’t see any other number past say 9% if I remember correctly. (It was actually 6%.) That’s the great majority. Yes, be less insular too... however please try to do it in a non-snarky way that won’t provoke the other human beings.
