That's exactly what is in my mind! The mismatch of domain name order and path order really bothers me for a while and I just couldn't find a sound reason for that.
For the date format, AFAIK, only English speaking countries use MM/DD/YY, possibly due to the same order in plain writing style, e.g. October 17, 2009. This is completely insane for virtually other parts of the world because logically it's either YY/MM/DD (big to small) or DD/MM/YY (small to big), but NEVER MIXED!
- etherealG 17y agoactually, only USA does the rediculous MM/DD/YY. the UK is DD/MM/YY
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoPlus when saying a date it is usual to say the day first in the UK then the month if it's not clear from context. The US date ordering is one of those things (like non-metric units) that make me feel that they're being purposefully obstructive; kinda like Microsoft, always avoiding using other peoples agreed standards.
