December 1st? We're already past that, or did you mean 1/12/17 (January 12th, 2017)?

Most countries use DD/MM/YY not MM/DD/YY.
Silly I know, but many of these savages also use the Metric system to.

I wouldn't mind but according to the last Dev Diary it would be 12/1 (
).
America uses both the MM/DD/YY and the Imperial system. Would love if we used the Metric system, but for most daily life it would be too problematic to quickly force a change, as people are used to using imperial measurements to visualize measurements in their heads.
I think the metric system is the closes the world has ever come to agree on something

Canada should be a lighter shade of green. Most people use metric for some things, imperial for others. So we're unilingual in two languages.
Example - height/weight in imperial, but distances only in metric.

All hail the metric system!
Seriously, when it comes to scientific calculations and the like, the metric system is a hell of a lot clearer and easier to use.
The only reason the imperial system still survives is because there's a fallen empire that refuses to let it go.

You mean Canada is so polite to their neighbour that they still pretend to use Imperial ?

Imperial is still heavily used in Britain, road signs are in miles, speed in mph, people's height in ft + inches, weight in stone + pounds. However, I can't possibly imagine using imperial in science!

I tried understand imperial once. It was awful.
But seriously, it's confusing af for metric user...

Whats interesting is that one of the other countries that hasnt adopted the metric system is an American descendant state.
Otherwise, I dont think its true that America hasnt adopted the metric system, especially if you are considering the UK as adopting the metric system, when they still use a lot of Imperial measurements, like the pound and stone.
The US military has fully shifted over the the metric system I believe.
We lost a Mars probe due to the Lockheed Martin sticking to the Imperial system.

I wish we could swallow our pride and switch to metric. I have no idea who thought switching systems was a good idea. =(

It isn't just pride, switching systems would be a hassle.
I was not aware that we ever followed the metric system?
