Japan I can get behind but MM/dd/yyyy is just evil, why would you sandwich days between months and years? You monster
I'm an ISO 8601 guy but the MM/DD does make sense in American. We'll say Oct 20th for a date and then straight translate that to numbers 10/20. It makes more sense than counting in French. Ex. 60, 70, 80, 90
Counting in French is an incredibly low benchmark. Nice try!
Prepare your butthole for the Danish spoken number system, where they express integers in fractions
They should just introduce a new system. Noone likes five halves of twenty for fifty. I guarantee it.
Just indroduce English numbers, the end.
It makes more sense than Monty Python.
The only reason I could see is if you were speaking it. September 18th 2012 for example might sound a bit better than 18 September 2012.
