Times and dates are already non-logical. 24 hours in a day but 7 days in a week? Some months have more or less days than other months? Seriously? http://infini

- rmc 13y agoOK, so the "non-logical" argument is irrelevant. But the "this is only in the USA" argument still stands.
- baby 13y agoI don't get how this is non-logical compared to what I said earlier. 24hour is the same excuse as the empirical system, you can divide 12 by 2,3,4,6 thus it makes things easier. It's a different system than the metric one, we could have said that a day lasted 100hours and week 10days. It doesn't make it non-logical though, it's like changing the basis. But ordering makes things logical.
