Hey, that's my birthday! Err, no it isn't... ;-)
Is that November 11 of 2019 or March 19 of 2011 or 11 March 2019?
The English still use stones as a unit of mass, and most of the
US still steadfastly refuses to seriously consider metrication or ISO
8601. I know an architect in the US, who has worked on several
different projects every year for the past 40 years only one of which
has been in metric units.
Binary, octal or hex is superior to decimal, except for the fact
that most humans have 10 digits on hands and feet. And decimal is
vastly superior to arithmetic in mixed bases, e.g., adding miles, rods,
yards, feet, inches, and 64ths.
