Happy 11-12-13 Everyone!!!!!so what r u guys gonna do to make this day memorable??
In my country we put the month first, but on our 11.12.13 (November 12th, 2013), a classmate of mine set her watch to 9:10 AM so she could say it was 9:10 on 11.12.13. XD
Well I'm kinda stuck doing science homework, but I got distracted with my e-mail, then I saw fanpop, then I changed my profile then I wrote a story, then I.... gosh darn!! I keep getting distracted!! Oh well. I guess I'll procrastinate today.
My new bed arrived! My old one had a mattress that was ten years old and the bed frame had to be seventy years old at least, so it was devilishly uncomfortable. This new one is so comfortable!
haha i remember last month americans kept saying it was 11-12-13 like why would you even put the month before the day idk
but all i did was watch cartoons and play pokemon today oh no

It makes more sense. The most important information goes first, which is the month. Yuo can tell the general weather and the time of year with the month. The date and the year is insignificant compared to knowing the month.
but it also makes sense to put the smallest to the biggest? day/month/year... i dont see how the month is more important than the actual day because thats when specific events happen?
Lol I don't see how it's important to put the month first. Chances are you know what month you're freakin in! It's the day that you generally want to find out first, hence why, many places list the day first. And smallest to biggest time totally makes more sense too.
In the modern world, the precise minute is important, but let's just think for most of human history. Days did not matter, nor did the year, but crops and monsoon seasons were very important and still are today. Months determine your season, and whether to harvest or plant crops. Year and date doesn't matter in the the rural world, which is as of now, most of the world!!!
Indeed, but we are living in a modern society which determines important events by date. We are a society that lives in the now. Obviously both ways makes sense, it just depends which one you were brought up with and are used to.
i still feel like months are actually the least useful because the weather can tell you what time of the year you're in, though lately the weather has been unreliable, but even still certain events will always depend on the day. halloween isn't the whole of october, it's on an actual day and for the day to be placed first would be more obvious? (i hope im not sounding rude i usually have conversations like these to learn more haha uou)
agreed dustydeer. For me (I'm not saying the other way is wrong but) I find the day most important. Say, I remember birthdates, I remember I have a test due on a certain date, I have so many days left of my holiday. For me, each day is more important that the month it's in.
It is December, not November....and it's the 11th.
Wait do you put the day first then the month middle where you live?

She might live in a spanish country. They usually put the day before the month there even though that's weird. I was wondering the same thing so don't feel like the only one.
