Enterprise Day 2022

[shapeshifter]

In my world, every day is Star Trek Day.

Funny, but there are indications that the "American" dating system is a continuation of the traditional dating that was used in England, like many things that are considered traditionally American nowadays.

I prefer the East Asian system myself. Largest to smallest makes it easier to keep things in order alphanumerically: YYYY.MM.DD.

But then the metaphorical triangle will tip over!

So, dumb question here: do you speak that way as well?

Meaning, if someone asks me what the date is, I would say "January 18th, 2022."

If someone asks you the date do you say "18th January, 2022"?

In my every day speech I use neither being a Fin. In Finnish it works fine both ways without the need for "of".
If I'm speaking in English, (which has actually happened) I think I would go for the month-day. So, I'm busted?

No, not busted. Just curious how it worked.

In English, we say "The Blue House"

In Spanish they say "La Casa Azul" (The House Blue)

It's just interesting to me, that's all.

To add to your list:
In Finnish it's 'sininen talo', 'sininen' being blue and 'talo' is house.
If it's said the other way around it sounds like something out of a poem.
Languages are interesting.

The day/month debate reminds me of this.

The left one is a boring old standard pyramid like we've had for 3k years. The right one is art.

If someone asks you the date do you say "18th January, 2022"?

In German, it's 18th January. Even though there's only one January in each year

 

[JesterFace]

I'm exited already what kind of debate there will be next January around 17th.
Maybe there should be a warning no later than January 15th that Enterprise day with annual day/month wrestling is coming soon.
Get your tickets now.
First time I posted this Enterprise day thing was in 2018.

YYYY.MM.DD.

This is the only correct answer.

Aren't we coming close to Picard Day and First Contact Day. How many fake Star Trek holidays do we need?

"Coming close?" First Contact Day is an April, Picard Day is in June.

 

[JoseNoodles]

Ok, not close, but they're coming down the pipe.

With an ‘of’ between 18th and January. Yes! :-)

For Australia Day I say 26th of January and Queen's Birthday is 13th of June this year.
Does anyone not from US pronounce transparent aluminum different than how they say it in Star Trek IV? Here we pronounce aluminium as al-you-min-ee-um but I still say transparent a-loo-min-um
