Are there 22 months in your year or 14?

(That is: It seems weird to express one date as month-last and the other as month-first.)



Parent poster was rejecting the month-first version.


month-first or month-last doesn't matter, until you add more time periods. YY/MM/DD and DD/MM/YY are both fine, but MM/DD/YY is braindead. Month-first gains the edge, though, when you add time-of-day, since no-one does ss/mm/hh


Then why didn't he write it as 14/3?

Anyhow, I thought he was more narrowly saying that 22/7 is closer to the true value of pi than 3.14 is.


Because 3.14 is the approximation of Pi. And yes, that is the reasoning.
