If North Americans get ME3 on 6/3 but Europeans on 9/3, will Europeans still have enough time to save the Earth?

Here we go again

9/3/2012

9 = Date = 9th
3 = Month = March
2012 = Year

Europeans use the date then the month

Yeah, but you gotta understand US mentality, their way is the only way <_<


No its Fing stupid and out of order. I like the Euro system its in order from least to greatest.

Oh?  So when someone asks you what the date is, you say "it's the 13th of February" instead of "February 13th?"  The US date notation mimics the one that you actually use in speech, and it's the one that's out of order?  I find the Euro notation annoying, and all this confusion could be avoided by simply typing out the name of the month instead of a number.

And don't even get me started on using a comma for decimals.  That bugs the crap out of me.


No, I would tell them it's the 13th. What kind of idiot doesn't know what month it is?

Strangulation is one of the fastest paths to silence.

Oh look this thread again.

Why are people surprised, we can't even agree on a single dialect, let alone language. Why should we agree on how dates are written?

There should be an Israeli calendar release date, that would really throw people.

Be that as it may, I prefer American English accents (not those from the American South and New England, but the general newscaster one). They seem to be far more rhotic than most British English accents, something I appreciate dearly. I know so many Brits who just don't pronounce anything (especially my Scouser friend), and it's godsdamn infuriating.

And here I was, raised by a bunch of Scottish people and Brooklynites who can't pronounce anything worth beans!

I write all my dates the proper way despite living in the US. D/M/Y for the wynne.


You know what's interesting, English as a whole used to be rhotic before the main split between British English (non-rhotic) and American English (rhotic).

Enough time? Is this a serious question? The reapers won't invade until after you buy the game you know.

If I had to guess, I'd say that we use MDY format to aid in filing.  Filing by month makes more sense than filing by day, so you put the number of the month first so that you can easily cross-reference different files.  Of course, filing by year takes priority, but that often means that you have separate drawers/folders for whole years, with each one divided into months.  The day is the most specific thing of the date, and in large scale filing, the last thing you need to look at.  Just a theory.

My whole point is that it would be best for posters on an international forum to avoid posting dates in numbers, as there's a pretty big divide on what those numbers could mean.  Just type out the name of the month, or use the abbreviation, and there's no confusion and bickering as to which system makes the most sense.


Hey the sword of truth his my favorite series ever, so internet high five images.pictureshunt.com/pics/i/internet_high_five-2496.jpg :lol:

Lol anyway typing out the date would make too much sense for bsn. We would much rather make petty off topic arguments than talk about what the original point of the thread is. I'm not sure people would have time to save earth unless they had already made extremely good decisions in the previous games to improve their galactic readiness. Otherwise it will take more effort to pull of, and you would probably still have to skip a great deal of cut scenes to finish in that kind of time. It's possible, but I doubt anyone will.

Europeans can't do sh*t without the aid of Russia, one of the three world's superpowers. (USA, Russia, China)

It's the same however you say it but mathematically the Euros way makes more sense.

While that's true...you pronounce a non-existent "f" in the middle of "Lieutenant". That disqualifies Britain from pulling any sort of card on the proper way to speak English. :P

Occassionally the Germans. But only after we've blamed the French.

The only advantage the US system has is when you date spreadsheets it keeps the monthly reports together, and makes it easier to rapidly find the file you're after.

Correction.

People think they're right.
