It probably sticks because it matches natural-language usage: "I was born on January 31, 1994"

East Asian languages are better at this: in Chinese you would say 我是1994年1月31日出生的

(So the "MM-DD-YY is a better fit for humans" thing is false, East Asia works fine with YYYY-MM-DD even in natural language)

Anyone who uses MM-DD-YYYY should be arrested fr fr

One challenge is that this mismatches with quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) :(

a year must be 13 months

If we have 13 months instead of 12, each month would be exactly 28 days, the 1st would always be Monday and the 28th would always be Sunday.

Just make the sockets accept any of the major plugs imo. Hotels are increasingly doing this already.

Sure, but which electric plug style are we making standard?

YYYY-MM-DD is the one variation that does not cause confusion!

If you say "04/01/2024", some people think you mean Apr 1, others think you mean Jan 4. If you say 2024-01-04, there's no ambiguity.

Interesting, but I like MM-DD-YYYY for the date.

Oh you should still call it ground. Just call the first floor above ground "first" :)

Reasonable except for ground floor being 0th! Never heard that term used in all my life with a -th. Ground floor is way more vernacular while maintaining accuracy.

km/h is better, better to dump miles entirely imo

Though for fuel economy I prefer (distance unit) / (fuel quantity) rather than the reverse; that's the one good thing that MPG has over the Canadian standard (L per 100km)

some good suggestions. What are your thoughts on mph and km per hour. I don't tend to mind that one too much.

yyyy-mm-dd also has the advantage that it cannot be mistaken for a different date in a different format.

If I told you that my friend's birthday is on 02/11/1994, you might not be sure if it's Feb 11 or Nov 2. But 1994-02-11 is unambiguous.

having to code switch between DD/MM for UK life and MM/DD for US work is cruel and unusual, yes! especially when MM/DD is self-evidently superior.

I've been fighting on that UTC hill for years, I can't deal with overlapping acronyms that only locals care about for time zones. I blame mostly Americans for that 😤

But umm... would you put sugar in hot tea? 😈

How about atmospheric pressure? ATM, Pa, mmHg?

Do you think floor skipping is really a problem? How often is it necessary to know what floor you are on from the outside?

You're gonna say during a fire, but rescuers can easily have protocols for dealing with this (they deal with much more complex transformations all the time, and it's a fairly rare event)
