How do you write the date?

[DanThePaladin]

DD.MM.YY
However sometimes - in rare cases its
YY.MM.DD

[Cernunnos]

Day month year.

"The prophecy is clear. The signs are unmistakable. On the 6th day of the 6th month in the year 2006 his day will come." It follows DMY format.

That's a quote from a movie.

[Kalis]

70 mph

Correct.

2.2x more lbs

Stones and pounds.

Dont know anything about SOCCER

Both proper football and American football use yards.

pints what up

Your pints are for the ladies, a real pint has 20 fl.oz.

[Shadow Fox]

Jobs require the "Month-Day-Year" format. (US Format) Even as a child, this format confused me and didn't make sense, and it still doesn't.
Crazy Americans~~

I personally use "Day-Month-Year". (What the rest of the world use, right?)

[Adam Jensen]

Being in the military, I use some variation of Day/Month//Year. Usually 06Jul2016

[Enthusiastic Steward]

Born and raised in the Midwest of USA.
If I'm writing it on my own I still usually write it mm.dd.yy as that's how I was taught and its mostly just out of habit. However if I'm at work, in a technical position for an international company, I write dd.mm.yy, and that's started bleeding over into my own "casual" writing. I use . instead of - or / to separate and it drives my wife nuts for some reason, which is great inspiration to keep doing it. Unless its on a form requiring it I never write the full four-digit year.

[Deleted]

Fantastic. That doesn't answer the question though.

You asked how I'd tell him the date. That's how.

"It's the sixth of July" ought to suffice, depending on how long said person was in a coma.

[hydrium]

Today would be 6-JUL-2016

[Taurous]

Month/Day/Year - Canada. Just makes more sense. Easier to say its July 6th, 2016, rather than its the 6th of July 2016.

[Tommy T]

Heads up, we still those measurements.

What is the speed limit on a motorway?

How much do you weigh?

How far do you have to stand away from a free kick taker?

What units do beers come in at the pub?

Yep, that's why I said it's not 100% accurate.

[shadowmouse]

7 Jul 16

And for the character limit:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

That should be ten.

[procne]

Usually DD.MM.YYYY
31.07.2016

But when handwriting it turns into:
31 VII 2016

110 kmph
70 kg
3 meters
litres

[Kalis]

3 meters

You are about 6 metres too close. You have received a yellow card.

Fortunatelly there is no imperial system in colors

[Cosmic Janitor]

Fortunatelly there is no imperial system in colors

That#s not entirely true. There is the RGB system and then there is the YCbCr(or was it YUV? I keep mixing these up), with the later being used in some commonwealth video standards? Or was it Asian? Not sure anymore.

[kail]

mm/dd/yy

It's what I was raised with, and it makes enough sense to use. Speaking out the date is also shorter than dd.mm.yy.

[Emek]

i'm american so m\d\y

[Sharrel]

I'm American, but I've always done day/month/year. the other way just seems odd to me.

Hmm IIRC it was 3 metres when I played football as a kid.
