It's pretty easy to bias a graph like this. Look, I can change the subtitle beneath Farenheit to "ambient weather temperatures in temperate regions" and 0-100 is a wonderful scale. How many of us are measuring the melting and boiling points of water in our every day lives? I can even make the date pyramid work, if you use "numerical capacity of units" instead of "quantity of time represented." 12->31->9999. Which is more relevant in writing nice-looking dates, you have more dates in x/xx/xxxx format the US way than the other way, where you end up with much more xx/x/xxxx.

BUT HEY LOL WORLD GROUPTHINK

You have a point regarding the temperature, but the date formatting... naah.

The United States accepts the metric system about as well as Europeans do. We use it in laboratories, textbooks, weather forecasts, barometers, odometers, etc.

British people eat blood pudding. That's all I'm gonna say.

When I say a date out loud, I sure don't say "fourteen July twenty twelve," either. "July fourteenth, twenty twelve." So MM/DD/YYYY matches actual spoken dates, as well. I'll admit to ignorance regarding whether the non-US English-speaking world actually DOES say "fourteen July twenty twelve," though. Sounds pretty silly if you ask me!

There's ALSO the argument of order-relevance. If you start with the day of a month, you haven't provided any context yet. "Fourteen." What does that even mean? It's just a hanging number. Even if you know the person is saying a date, it could be anywhere in the year. The month gives immediate date-context, and starts in a more general place, which the numerical date then clarifies. This all happens in split-seconds sure, but it still aids in unconscious comprehension. The year is often implicit in spoken dates, but both formats place it at the end anyway, so there's not much argument around it unless one just wants to be semantic re: the first two parts of the date. It's like Fahrenheit vs Celsius, sure the latter is more "scientifically logical" but the former provides benefits in day-to-day human use. Same deal with US date formatting.

If someone asks me what the date is I say "It's the 1st of May."

I think it's actualy counterproductive to be one of the last 3 states worldwide to retain such a complicated unuseable system
