What's wrong with Ohio? They can't spell 'banana'?

Or Ok/SD/Mich and 'Gray'?

I guess they don't know if it's grey/gray, but how do you f up banana?

because ohio sucks

I've spent quite a lot of time in Ohio, but I always remember how to spell bananas by singing Hollaback Girl: This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Nah, not really, I just know how to spell it.

Anyway, back to the MAPS.

Google Maps V. Apple Maps

Well yeah, you don't want it cluttered up by default. You can just search "landmarks" or "attractions" in Google maps if you want all that other junk displayed.

I picked up a couple globes from the 80s at an estate sale for $5. Both have East/West Germany and the USSR. I'm taking one to work and leaving the big 16" lighted globe for our home office. I love the history of them and could care less if they're no longer accurate.

Eleventy billion

After quickly scanning the thread, I didn't see this already.

I know, "Murrican exceptionalism" and all that, but I would vote for any politician that promises to get the US to adhere to the DD/MM/YY standard.

Belize knows what's up.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

can we get a map correlating awesomeness and imperial measurements and correct date formats

 

[deacdiggler]

why DO we use the mm/dd format? Never really thought about it before.

When we say dates out loud, we say month before date. Why not record it that way too?

In the UK for instance, they do the reverse. Is the spoken custom a product of the written one or vice versa? Derrida wrote books about this shit.

YYYY-MM-DD way superior

MM-DD-YY was personally responsible for the epochal disaster that was Y2K.
