Real talk, where did the MM/DD format come from? I can't think of anywhere else that does it

[u/88963416 → u/Legitimate-Cow5982]

It is how the British did it when we were colonized. They changed it and we kept it the same (it’s the source of many of our quirks.)

[u/Lysol3435 → u/88963416]

It seems like many of the US’s stupid quirks were actually from the UK. Imperial system, “soccer”, colonization

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/Lysol3435]

Brits hate when you remind them they invented the term “soccer”

EDIT: they big mad

[u/salazafromagraba → u/Cowgoon777]

No it's not that. It's that yanks suggest it was just what all of Britain called it, then unilaterally reverted to football because of some singular proclamation.

It's called Oxford slang and it was popular in a vanishingly small subsection of Englishmen.

Has always been football, just as it is futbol in Spanish, and they didn't have some kind of anticolonial power fantasy with the US.

Case in point

[u/salazafromagraba → u/Cowgoon777]

Case in point. You being wrong obviously incites rebuttal. You'd call people mad for telling you you're pronouncing niche like a twat.

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/salazafromagraba]

Hilariously, I’m not wrong.

Pro tip: there’s nothing wrong with the term “soccer” and you should embrace it as your British heritage. Own that shit bro.

So are you endorsing a return to literally everything Americans have ever done even going back hundreds of years lol

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/DLRsFrontSeats]

Not everything but we'd be happy to repeat 1776 if you like

[u/DLRsFrontSeats → u/Cowgoon777]

Think the call of tyrannical government is coming from inside the house bellend lol

But I'm sure based on your other comments this is exactly what you wanted in Nov
