In your file cabinet, is July 1 1985 followed by July 2 2001, or do you go by year - month - day?

You would probably adjust your filing system to organize by larger block of time - medium block of time - smallest block of time.

I think of our year-month-day system in approximately the same light as I do our measuring system. Also, I think our dating system is more confusing to learn, just going by my memories from childhood ("okay, which goes first!?").

By now it is as ingrained a part of life as daily crashes are for long-time Windows users. It doesn't register in our minds any more.
