^ May be a slight difference in translation of the joke... lighten up. Ignored.
Check the picture from the original post. See what it implies (if you actually understand the joke yourself)... then note how the word "taste" may be used differently.
Or better yet, just don't comment on what you may not understand ...

My irony was meant as an irony, deffenotly an insult.
I myself, hate when people throw that "You don't understand, you're not from here ..." at me.
So if I offended you - my deepest and most sincere apologies.

^ My apologies also... LOL! I absolutely did take your post in the opposite way. All previous comments retracted. I appreciate you explaining.
Also, I should have perhaps closed the joke a little better for the benefit of everyone.
I'll rewrite it... but some say if you have to explain a joke, that it's not a good joke. So, my joke was clearly not good.
Thank you for the polite response.

Bad joke... redone.
I know the Welsh have a different taste than the Scots and the Irish. 😉
(Maybe some day I'll discover the taste of Swedish women.)
Edited to alter the country to maybe get a laugh...

There's a flat earther named Brian (or Broyan) that speaks with a very special doyalect and has come up with skoy moyles (sky miles), where could such guy come from. I cannot recall having problems at all understanding Oyrish people when we travelled around the little green gem.
In case my response makes no sense to anyone but me, it is a real thing 😀

Putting the day first is just weird, that should never be an option. For the first 12 days of the month it leaves you guessing on the order.
At least with the year first it is clear what the order is but when someone asks what the day is does anyone say "It is 2024, February the 16th"
Everyone just needs to adjust to my way 🤣 MM/DD/YYYY and make that the universal way. I'll start working on my list of all things that need to be done my way.
There you go, here in the UK, we go DD/MM/YYYY
When you have filing to be done there is only one correct way to make sure it's chronological.
YYMMDD

If you only want your filing to be chronologically correct for a certain limited time frame... sure...
Well I'm happy with the next 76 years. I was also happy with the previous 23.
I have nothing requiring current storage from the previous century and those who did could have easily added another YY at the beginning, n'est-ce pas?
Do you do any filing ,and if so, I'd be interested in how you organize it.

Sadly, I do too much. For many things, I use the solution you've mentioned, including a four digit year as part of the filing system.Do you do any filing ,and if so, I'd be interested in how you organize it.
