Scott’s 6 year JBP Contest Entry

[markyscott]

I’m in! Ordered my seeds today. Interesting - it was a lot cheaper ordering direct from the company rather than from the same company through Amazon. Pack of ten seeds from these guys was $8.95 on Amazon and $5 when you order direct. Wonder how often that is true....

That seller is cheaper on Amazon only if you get the 4 packs of 10 with free shipping. anything less was cheaper through their website.

Just as backward like the uk people. Day-month-year or month - day - year, beside confusion it is just fun.

I also find it very hard to understand why people use month-day-year. To me it just seems illogical. They should be ordered from the smallest to the largest or vice versa. But as long people understand each other, that's all that matters

It’s just common usage here in the US. It follows speech patterns - when speaking words people say January 2nd, not 2nd January, so it ended up being abbreviated 1/2, not 2/1.

At least here in the US. Where we got it right. But next time I’ll provide translation in iterations of various incorrect date orders so as to be extra inclusive!

The day doesn’t matter if you can’t figure out what month you are talking about.

Don't bother. Not that important

In Portuguese, and I suspect in all languages of latin origin, we say "two of January" (literal translation).

Not sure your rationale is veered valid. If can't figure out the day if you only know the month either can you?

We shall all use the Julian day from now on. Forum's rules

Hey, would you look at that… It’s Kelvin 271° out

first I want to apologize to markyscott for adding to this clutter but I couldn't resist..........

They really are measured from smallest to largest if you think about it.
Months = 12 (that's it just 12)
Days = 28-31 (more than double the possible months)
years = 2018 (yeah the largest)


28-2-2018 - See, at first glance that date seems to contradict what you said in your statement. (yeah sure I know your gonna say "but a month is longer than a day" so my reply is "but not in numerical form")

My family name is Barboza - my grandfather immigrated from Capo Verde. I speak some Italian and can curse like a sailor in Portuguese!
