This meme implies there's an equal battle between MM/DD/YY and DD/MM/YY, which is nonsense. Much like imperial units, only 'murica uses MM/DD/YY.
Oi guvnah, ow many stone chu weigh?
Only one, but it has my exact weight
If you look at the calendar, you'll see that we are not in 1900 anymore.
No one I know measures their own weight in imperial.
Talking about fuel efficiency in miles per liter 🤣
I have 2 stones if that's what you're asking.
But 'murica is big.
Only slightly bigger than Australia and Western Australia is nearly twice the size of Texas..
When talking about cultural mindshare I'd argue that the quantity of people matters more than the space they've been packed into
