Pi day is an irrational holiday that was invented by Big US Date Format.
@mattblaze Month goes before day in ISO form too, just not legacy European forms. Just the year placement differs.
@dalias @mattblaze year month day probably works better for mechanised filing systems.
But for a human being day month year is intuitive.

@peterbrown @dalias @mattblaze Not for this human being.

Do you also argue that armpit-and-brine-defined Fahrenheit is more intuitive than Celsius? I used the first for 30 years, now live with the second, and it's fine.

People often think something is intuitive and better just because it's what they're used to.

@oclsc @dalias @mattblaze I was brought up on the tail end of Fahrenheit but I prefer Celsius, like I think probably the vast majority of the UK. That are still a few old folks that feel more comfortable with Fahrenheit but every year there are fewer of them!!
