Are you getting ready, Enterprise day coming soon....

Are all the festivities ready for the event that's coming in just few days? :)

I guess there is no Enterprise Day in America, since we don't have 17 months. :p

I had a feeling something like this would turn up.
So here's something silly from the internetworld. :)

Those two ships are dangerously close together.

Don't worry, it's just a photoshop image of the two ships. :)
No Enterprises were harmed in making of this thread.
 
^ Logically, I'd tend to agree. But in the days of files and folders being auto-alphabetized, year/month/day is even more practical, as it keeps things chronological.
 
Something like this?

The "American way", month-day makes more sense if there's no year mentioned, so it works with near history or near future. :)
 
I'm Canadian but use DD/MM/YYYY because it just makes more sense to me.

I'm curious, which system does Canada use usually?

"European" - Day-Month-Year
or
"American" - Month-Day-Year

By your earlier post I guess the "American" is more common?
 
The left side should not be in quotes. That's the correct way. I don't know what the right "wrong" side is.

I guess those things are built based on the lenght of each timeframe.

Day, shortest
Month, somewhere in between
Year, longest
 
The American system works around how dates are spoken. It’s one of those things like metric that Americans resist because short term confusion is seen as worse than logical consistency.

Like, I’m comfy at my local optima, why do I need to leave it to get to the global optima?
 
Looking forward to Alien Day more myself (20th of April) since they usually release a new audio play on that day. Hoping for the Cold Forge or Rage War part one.
 
I noticed that here in the TrekBBS forum on the "Joined:" line under the member's rank, the format is month, day, year. Is someone suggesting that the wise people who operate TrekBBS are being illogical? :sigh::):p
 
I'll be avoiding much of the site on Enterprise day because the new season of Discovery starts the next day in the country the dating scheme works best for.:vulcan:

That's how I was taught to do Stardates as a kid, making today 1901.15. It looked more futuristic in the 90's:p
