Why do Americans put the month first. It just makes no sense.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We put the month first because in conversation we say, \u201cJuly 1st, 2015.\u201d Because it\u2019s quicker than \u201cThe first of July, 2015.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow is May 29th\u201d not \u201cTomorrow is the 29th of May.\u201d That is why we write it 5\/29\/15 and not 29\/5\/15. Because we go by how we phrase it in conversation rather than in sequence because it converts better between numbers and language when written in the former.<\/p>\n

We also use the month first because that\u2019s how calendars are organized. You have one year and one calendar so the year is a constant and can go in the back. However, calendars aren\u2019t organized my days, but rather by months. You flip to the months first and then find the day. So\u2026.<\/p>\n

p><\/p>\n

While on this topic, we also use Fahrenheit and not Celsius because a 0-100 scale of measuring temperature makes a lot more sense to a human. We know that 0 is really fucking cold and 100 is really fucking hot, which makes sense. Celsius, however, is just about how water responds to temperature, and makes no sense when applied to humans. Fahrenheit is for people, Celsius is for water. And I am a people not a water.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

oh<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I find this very funny cause you say that but your independence day is not called July 4th, its called the 4th of July.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What I find funny is that our armies were about half the size of the British army and yet we were still able to crush your crumby asses, declare independence and pour your tea in the ocean.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
