Just sayin...
In America, Pi Day is 3-14-2022
In Europe, Pi Day is 31-4-2022.
Anyone see an obvious problem here??

I prefer the Day-Month-Year format. It just makes sense.

I got used to YYYYMMDD many years ago when I wrote software that generated file names with the dates at the beginning. The files would automatically sort by date year over year regardless if your OS file display sorted them by name or by date if you used YYYYMMDD

There is no April 31. April has 30 days.

Ha! Those quotation marks around the word logic in the American column!! Kinda disparages the good old USA. Just a tiny little dig. A mere drop in the ocean. Cleverizes the author, too.

except it’s not how we speak. We say June 6, 1944, not 6 June 1944

True, but I also prefer the S.I. system of measurements so I might be a bad example.

We say June 6, 1944, not 6 June 1944 So 6/6/1944 instead of 6/6/1944?
