That is not something that does not make sense Kitty. That is something you hate. It actually makes sense that we are lazy, hence we shorten our words.

Get with the program.

The real way to write a date is year ,month, day

so today ( 25th August 2006 ) would be 060825

That way when they are automatically placed in order when read by a computer (ie naming files and such)

THIS THREAD.

I don't think date shorthand formats are about how you say it as words. If anything it would be "January thirty-first, two thousand and one".
whatever you're not used to saying is going sounds whack in comparison to what you've grown up with, like when you do a literal translation from say french to english and they have their crazy logical sentence structures.

I had an argument with my american friend about this (date shorthand formats). I still can't understand how they think that's logical.
I would have thought that: smallest unit of time/ next size up unit of time/ largest unit of time (day/month/year) is the most sensible way of writing a date.

as mrj said, 060825 is where it's at. I use this format as a prefix for lots of files i create as the computer sorts it in the most useful way.

I'm going to be a little more specific.. my mum's text messages don't make any sense. Here is a real one she sent me. See if you can translate:

i just had two shots of black sambuca, not only does that make no sense considering i was at the post office, but i also love licorice.

Lico-rice = black sambuca. hmmmm.

why so many hot chicks dress like idiots = nonsense.
that society makes so many things that are pleasurable into deviant acts = nonsense
that society promotes so many things that are detramental to us = nonsense
sheep = nonsense

hot chicks > brain cells diminished from too much hairspray and too itght jeans means they have no idea of reality when they see a mirror.

society/deviant acts > squash the masses, keep em full of GUILT, then you can mold at will

society/ promoting bad stuff > kill us sooner, then blast off the earth in stark like scenario, destined to failure

sheep > make the cows feel good about themselves.

see, nothing makes no sense in the end....

the notion that if you're a hot chick you must also be really stupid and vacuous

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 6:07 pm

aniseed = godly

licorice = foul

they are different, otherwise how could I absolutely loath one and absolutely love the other?

fyi black sambucca is aniseed
