To the over-educated, over-paid writers posting material to their prestigious websites …
Will you PLEASE put a fucking date on the editorial material you post on the web? Man, I’m getting so fucking tired of doing research on some technical subject and finding NO FUCKING DATE on the material. What the fuck people, it’s a simple habit to have, just put a fucking date on things you write. OK?
Thanks.

Only if you’ll use a normal date format.

He used the standard convention for writing dates as used in the United States. Which makes it, by default, the “normal” way of writing dates. Everyone else does it wrong.
Amen!
amazing it has to be said
Well if Electric Lady Land and Bear Flag Republic are in the US then I suppose it’s OK then.
Bugger the “It’s written this way”, “No, dunderhead, it’s written this way” debate. I just write the month out in full, so there’s no misinterpretation. So there. 
24 February 2005.
No, that’s February 24, 2005.
sigh Freakin’ idiot!
It’s the months that do it. I say we just forget about 'em completely. Everyone knows there’s 365 days a year, 366 on a leap year. Let’s put that number to good use.
46/2005
Or there are, even. Minor, I know, but it drives me nuts when other people do it, so there you go.
Still 46/2005
Everyone knows how many years there’ve been. Why not just the number of days?

Bah. All we need is everyone to use a Unix Timestamp.

It’s still the Century of the Fruit Bat, right?
Where have you been? T’is the Century of the Anchovy now. Everyone knows that!
That’s 'Tis.
It’s 10 Ventôse an 213 de la Révolution! I fart in your general direction!
It’s 12.19.12.1.7; tzolkin = 11 Manik; haab = 10 Kayab, if you want that Old Time Religion.

Heathens, all of you! The correct way to write today’s date is 050228. Accept no substitutes.

What you all on about? Dates?
Sun come up. Sun go down. Hot time. Cold time. moon he get beeeg an’ small sometimes.
I prefer the Vikram calendar that’s used in Nepal. (Which cleverly avoided any Y2K crisis by scheduling the year 2000 just prior to the development of electronic data processing.)
