Garnett: Yes! 23/2 or (2/23 the wrong way round1)

How is that the wrong way?  


Americans put the date the wrong way round. I thought this was known.


Thats funny, I thought everyone else wrote the date the wrong way.

The mm/dd/yy format is used in Belize, Canada, Micronesia, Palau, Philippines, and the US. A mere smidge compared to the amount of countries and people using the other format.

The US way is more intuitive while the Euro way is more linear.

Everyone writes dates in longhand as mm/dd (ex: I went to the park on Feb 5th).

However, the Euro way makes more sense in the smallest to largest categories.

Some deep talks on how we write the date. Anyways, my initial doubt on this game has been lessened, I would just like to see a few more reviews for it. IGN AU's Hypebuster really worried me about this game.

I just hope reviewers give the game what it deserves. It's unique, it's deep, it's fresh. These are the things reviewers are always clamoring for nowadays. I just hope they are able to recognize it.

Agreed, it looks like Quantic Dream has created a masterpiece, probably it will grow a strong cult.

You speak for America there. In the UK, you would say "I went to the park on 5th February).

Yup, in Ireland too.

It's intuitive for YOU, because you are an American. No offense, but the rest of your argument is pretty much invalid as most of the  countries and languages I know do NOT use that "intuitive" way.

Well, think about this as well, if you want to tak about intuitiveness. I went to bed at 30minutes after 11. Isn't it more intuitive to say hour then minute? Because the hour really has a strong bearing on the minute, right?

 

Also, do you guys really talk like that? "you have a meeting on the 23rd of February" instead of "Feb 23rd"??

Yes in many languages people say I have a meeting on the 23rd of February.

Half 11. 20 past 11. 20 to 12. So your hour analogy is wrong too. :)
