    It’s not a bad idea, that’s why I got married on 2/14 so I wouldn’t get stuck having to have an extra gift giving holiday.

        No no, he got married in the 14th month of the year which doesn’t exist, so there wouldn’t ever be an anniversary

            that’s…more words, and more thought, it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.

              It’s just one more syllable, or one word(no s, because it’s not plural). People prefer to say dou ble u dou ble u dou ble u instead of world wide web, and that’s even more syllables. It’s also arranged in a neat way, from day to month to year.

              it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.

              That’s the issue i guess, you guys jump from one format to another and then back and that’s considered normal🤷

            2nd of Dodecember

            I find it hilarious that the imaginary 14th month gets to be called “12th” because (ostensibly) the early Romans couldn’t be bothered to have winter months.

          In most contexts, “/” means something like “(out) of”, and “14 of 2” makes a lot more sense than “2 of 14” when describing the fourteenth of February (or February fourteenth, as you would say it).
