minus-squareDjeece@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoIMO, the only logical part of the American date system is that it’s the same way you would say it (July 1st 2023). Since English is my second language, though, and in French you would say 1er Juillet 2023, it still fucks me up anytime a date is like 10/10/2023.
