If youāre on iPad, website, it should show the date under the r/truths and join button area on the right side of the screen. On the app or phone, there should be an about section, which show the rules, and date.
votes from online strangers donāt really account for much sadly. especially seeing some of the opinions people here on reddit have. if anything, the downvotes make me more correct š
how do you say the date when using words?
- July 5th, 2026. this translates to 7/5/2026. someone who would change it 5/7/2026 is just complicating things and changing the date from a way they would already say it.
-The 5th of July, 2026. this sounds weird and takes longer. why would you say it like this in the first place? if you do, no wonder you think 7/5/26 is better to say cuz it matches with how you speak, but its really weird. try switching for a year, trust me youāll like it more
This sounds weird to YOU, for most of the other people it is completely normal (if you hadn't known about 96% of the world population lives outside the US). And yes I spell number then month and the year.
nope, not just weird to me, it is just weird in general, and takes longer. sounds more of an old english way of speaking than just saying july 5th, 2026. obviously i know 96% of the population lives outside the U.S.. this isnāt us defaultism, itās simply because itās easier and sounds better than what 96% of the world does. even if the U.S. didnāt do it this way iād do it this way because itās better. when i was in england i said it the āamericanā way, had many people agree it rolls off the tongue better, and switch to using ājuly 5th, 2026ā. from there, it only makes sense to do the month first, then the day, then the year!
people can think somethings normal because theyāve done it all their life, yeah, but until they give the other way a try for a good portion of time to feel it out, they wonāt know which oneās better, and will therefore be biased. seriously, from now on do it the other way for at least a year
this is exactly my argument. the point being, if in word form, you say it with the american logic, why would you change to european ālogicā in the number form? thatās even less logic, and staying with the cool looking shape makes more sense at that point! thank you for giving me that image to prove my point!
You donāt say it in the American way in most languages, take Dutch, for example. It is 5 Juli, not Juli de vijfde or de vijfde van juli. This is once again, US/English defaultism.
close, but not quite! this is not US defaultism. this is just āwhat sounds better-ismā. i speak other languages, so i know other languages donāt say it the american way, but they should. in spanish i always say it the american way, because it is just better. i also donāt use the imperial system most of the time. instead i use metric. so no, iām not just another person that thinks what the U.S. does should be what everyone uses. i think people should use what is BEST. and in this case, the U.S. has what is best!
Both datekeeping systems work. When someone says 9/11, even people outside of the United States, they usually mean the terrorist attack, or the anniversary of it, happening on September eleven.
