GDT: Flames at Columbus, 2018-12-04, 5:00 PM MT, SNET-W

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Finally back in the home country. Looking forward to watching a game and two big points.

 

[Bounces R Way]

For my first Christmas wish I would like James Neal to score a goal. Maybe even two.

plz Santa

Why in the GDT does it say we're playing April 12th?

Day - Month - Year
Smallest unit of measurement to the largest unit of measurement. Most widely accepted format around the world.

In hindsight, the date format is indeed improper as it is technically incorrect for Canada. It should read 2018-12-04

I feel like we need an adult.

I always write the date that way I say it.. Month-Day-Year.

This clearly deserves a poll.

He will, in AHL when he passes the waiver wire

Good luck Flames! Let's do this!

Going to miss this one, two in a row. Have a function to attend.

Same, except on my CPU I have it set day-month-year, but my month is set as written in letters, so it's 04-Dec-2018.

Everything else though it should be month-day-2018 because it is December 4th of 2018, not the 4th of December LOL.

I am an Anglo Quebecer and French people write it day-month-year but in English school I learned month-day-year. It’s been a struggle I never know what to do when I see a date where the day isn’t higher than 12

You want to talk about struggle!?! Try getting through a Math 30 class with a French teach who uses commas instead of decimals when writing numbers! Pi sure looked a lot bigger back then: 3,141592

 

[Nanuuk]

The International standard is Year/Month/Day I believe.

 

[Mobiandi]

Day-Month-Year makes the most sense because there's a progression from a smaller to bigger unit of time. But I've seen M-D-Y so much that it confuses me when it's actually the reverse

 

[Jags68]

Last I checked, Columbus Day was in October. Easy 2pts for the boys in red.

Have to disagree there. My family was from Russia (first generation Canadian myself) and I was always taught Day-Month-Year. Seeing people go Month-Day-Year on paperwork just irks me to no end because it doesn't make sense.

And yes, "4th of December" would be the proper (formal) way of saying the date. I mean when you type the month, it doesn't make a huge difference, but when using strictly numerical values, outside of English Canada and the US, everywhere else goes with (for todays date) 04/12/2018 (or 04/12/18)

I always HATE playing the you guys solely because my name is Brody and TJ Brodie’s name seems to be called 629290 times we play y’all. Lol
