Weirdo Americans and your Middle-Endian dating . Tim Send a noteboard - 30/08/2009 04:35:45 PM
30/08/2009

WTF?



European style (30-08-2009) is logical: smallest to biggest.
Chinese style (2009-08-30) is also logical: biggest to smallest.
American style (08-30-2009) is just WTF?

Someone in another forum I used to visit named the first two styles Little-Endian dating and Big-Endian dating, after the two sides in the Lilliput/Blefuscu war who were arguing about how to crack an egg. So then there's Middle-Endian for American style .

You are confused because we are using a system that is logical? *NM* snoopcester - 30/08/2009 04:36:36 PM 220 Views
