Hah. But seriously — I really find it offensive how many apps and features, especially those coming from Google are hardcoded to use °F, AM/PM, DD/MM/YYYY, weekdays starting on Sundays, and imperial measurement units.
I have all my devices set to British English, since I can't deal with broken Croatian translations, but I'm trying to get away from these ass-backwards formats that only 4% of the world's population uses. Sadly, that 4% is responsible for almost all of the media and core software we consume, so I guess we're stuck with it.
- kevincox 6y agoSeriously. The Google Search console is hardcoded to display graphs with the time axis like 4/3/21 4/8/21 4/13/21 and I always need to stare at them a while to tell what sort of timeframe I am looking at. The same issue is present on so many Google products. Groups is especially bad because I find an old message with a date like 3/12/8 and have absolutely no idea when it is from.
- blackshaw 6y ago> DD/MM/YYYY Did you mean to write MM/DD/YYYY?
- baxuz 5y agoYes. It's so wrong that I can't even write it properly.
