Yeah count me in, 14.3 doesn’t make any sense for a πday
They could be from Canada too. We’re in that fun zone of being mostly Oxford/metric/DMY, but due to proximity and history we still use a lot of Webster/imperial/MDY. My dad is from the past so he speaks in Fahrenheit but calls it “English”. Send help.
However, saying “July 23rd” feels more natural and efficient to me than “The 23rd of July”. That translates to me writing 07/23 over 23/07. To each their own though, I’m not gonna harsh any mellows over date formatting.
How about March Fourteenth as “American PI-Day” and 22.07. as “international, sensible and widely understood PI-Day”, each according to the used date format?
DD-MM-YYYY is better, but still causes issues. ISO 8601 though, now that’s a superior format.
Fun fact: 355/113 = 3.14159…
Close enough to pi so that using it for calculating the earth’s circumference from its diameter is accurate to within 3 meters.
The engineer in me wants to tell you round it up to 3.5 just to be safe. Maybe even 4 might be better…
Why have one pi day when you could have 2?
I propose that during a 113 day period we have exactly 355 pi days. That would be an avrage of 3,14159 pi days per year
You’re forgetting tau day, June 28th. That’s 2*pi. Then we get 3 holidays.
FUCK DD/MM FORMAT YYYY-MM-DD IS SUPERIOR
--ISO-8601 GANG
