      No no, he got married in the 14th month of the year which doesn’t exist, so there wouldn’t ever be an anniversary

      How does it make no sense? I read 2/14 as “February 14th”. How do you read 14/2?

        Fourteenth of February? Just like Fourth of July.

          that’s…more words, and more thought, it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.

            It’s just one more syllable, or one word(no s, because it’s not plural). People prefer to say dou ble u dou ble u dou ble u instead of world wide web, and that’s even more syllables. It’s also arranged in a neat way, from day to month to year.

            it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.

            That’s the issue i guess, you guys jump from one format to another and then back and that’s considered normal🤷

        In most contexts, “/” means something like “(out) of”, and “14 of 2” makes a lot more sense than “2 of 14” when describing the fourteenth of February (or February fourteenth, as you would say it).

          Pretty weak reasoning. It just as often “or” like this/that. If not more— who’s actually looking at fractions that often? I’d argue the punctuation attached to that specific date format shouldn’t be the basis for the order itself, and dashes or periods are common too.

          The better reasoning is that the day is typically more relevant than the month. A downside though is that it’s bad for sorting: YYYY-MM-DD is the best way to automatically sort by date, and ease in digital sorting is arguably the most important factor in date formatting. It’s kind of a silly thing that people don’t care about outside of memes otherwise.
