   @quad @eal Meanwhile here you sometimes have to remember if it's a month with 28 days or 31 and… I just never do and feel like I shouldn't have to, feels kind of like old imperial units with weird stuff to remember vs. metric where you just shift numbers around.

     @lanodan @quad @eal careful with week numbers! some programs just say "week number" without specifying whether it's the US one or the EU/ISO one. Sometimes it's locale-specific, sometimes it's hard-coded.

     In gnome-shell, I had to look at the JS code to figure out how the number was grokked. (always ISO, even on an en_US locale IIRC)

     @djupsjob @remi @quad @eal Imperial typically refers to commonwealth / british empire, so more like US customary I guess.

     @remi @lanodan @quad @eal Did not know that weeks are counted differently in the US. Imperial weeks?
