It may be ludicrous but at least it's tolerant.

Many Americans would use standard _given the opportunity_. Nothing here was ever converted, or has the same availability in metric so things continue on as they always have. Very few defend them as better, especially distance measurements.

Claiming there is a "better" system for dates is just preference. Why does it make sense to list the year first, it only changes once every 365 days?
