The date formatting confused me when I was a little kid doing school projects, as some of our textbooks were printed in the USA. I thought, "How could the Americans get the date of their first trip into space wrong?!"

@EmergencyPotato @hybridhavoc that's because we're stupid and can't get basic things right, like measuring systems, date formats, healthcare, human rights......
