          Ooh let’s make it so that it the user has to manually add in all the time before January 1, 1970 in order for it to be accurate. That time is also in Roman numerals.

          The program then does a system time check against NIST to see if the calculation is correct, otherwise it won’t let you proceed.

        In what way is the MDY you write about any different from the YDM in the screenshot? The important thing, that they’re in random order, is the same for both, right?

        And as for spoken language, it’s not like any normal person would say “September fifteenth” now, is it?

          Turns out people in different countries and regions say the date differently as well. I find it funny how everyone always assumes their experience is the universal one.

          September Fifteenth and Fifteenth of September are both commonly used depending where you are in the world.
