  A third excuse for pi, you say? I think it suits it.

  Imagine acting superior about a date format.

    No need for acting when the (non-US) date format is superior

      DD-MM-YYYY is better, but still causes issues. ISO 8601 though, now that’s a superior format.

        Also the date format used organically in East Asia because of the cultural habit of writing big to small.

        English tends small to big, so I don’t know where yanks got their date format from.
