Don't we have to wait for April 5? A few hours and another day.
I wonder if anyone noticed when it happened in the real year 06, as opposed to 2006!

Except if like most of the rest of world you put the day before the month...
Never understood the Yanqui way with dates.

It does still hold that it will happen this year. It'll just be on the 4th of May rather than the 5th of April
One of my US pals pointed it out to me the other day and I pointed right back!

It's based on how people talk instead of numerical logic. Obviously, day-month-year makes more sense, but "four April" sounds silly compared to "April fourth."

Even still, over here I think most people would say 'fourth of April'.
But that's not quite as confusing as my Dutch relatives referring to 6:30pm as 'half-seven'.

Right, but that's just one more reason that American workers are more productive than British ones, what with our two-word method of commmunicating dates compared to your cumbersome three- or four-word method (counting "the").

It's simply because we're really proud of the fact that we invented the language – we just like to show off by using as much of it as possible, as often as possible.miloblithe said:Right, but that's just one more reason that American workers are more productive than British ones, what with our two-word method of commmunicating dates compared to your cumbersome three- or four-word method (counting "the").

Good job Royal Pineapple.
You now have a moment to last a lifetime (and a pic to prove it). 
three dates stick in my head
while i was in middle school, one kid commented it was 7/7/77 and i thought that was neato
i saw a tv program about nostradamus and it claimed that the next big world war would happen on 7/7/99 and the day passed quietly into history
of course, i was excited when 1/1/2000 happened even though i knew the real date to switch over into the next millenia would be 1/1/2001
