minus-square@Grandwolf319link13•11 months agoObviously it’s a an act of protest so the months are officially remade to be alphabetically ordered.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•11 months agoCan’t we just call them month 1 to month 12 like CJK languages do?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•11 months agoBut in alphabetical order: 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
minus-square@feck_itlink4•11 months agoThis is not even in alphabetical order, three couldn’t be before the four.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•11 months agoComputers sometimes sort in this logic: “1” is the first digit so everything that starts with “1” comes first. Alphabetical in this sense, not the names of the numbers written out as done in another comment under this post.
