It annoys me even though I’m still in the U.S.
Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:

MM/DD/YYYY would annoy me wherever it’s from, because it’s wilfully perverse.
It matches the speech order in English. Today is December eleventh, 2024.
Is there a Lemmy community for /c/ShitAmericansSay
Where did you get this idea from? In British English 11th of December is more common. I’m open to the idea that American English does it differently and that’s fine but to assert that the entire English speaking world does it like that is incorrect and ignorant.
It’s american/Canadian English. We say December 11th, 2024, we write it like we say it.
Maybe where you live, but no. Today is actually the 12th of december. Yanks like to say thats how it is but I have never, or rather rarely, heard them call their independence day July 4th. It’s always 4th of July. So, no. Its not the speech order.
Sure. But we also say “September 11th” when referring to the world trade center attacks.
4th of July is the exception in American English.
The 4th of July falls on July 4th. I can assure you as someone who has lived in the US for my entire life, we say it out loud, month, day, year and we write it to match that.
Nope. It’s the 12th of December . Just like the 4th of July, or having Christmas “on the 25th”
It’s from the country that elected a pervert, so…
Do you have any idea how little that narrow it down?
