Whatever and why is not the point, the fact that they do is damned annoying. The most logical way is day month year because it's in the order of how it changes....easy!

Jer 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.\n\n"Scottish H5530 סכל\nsâkâl\nsaw-kawl'\nFrom H5528; silly: - fool (-ish), scottish."

Try using whatever works for you in England (or wherever you are).\n\nWhy do you think Scotland will be different?\n\nOr are you saying you have a problem making friends generally because you're bossy, and the Scotland thing is just decoration to your question ... ?

I am glad there are still people thinking like you, I agree, it is irritating. I don't even go into a chatroom anymore because its full of abreviations and duh, da words. The future lies within the children, we should teach them well. And it's the same in other languages as well, unfortunately. Good luck.

I've found it is more common to use "aitch" but there are some people in england who say "haitch" instead, but remember not everyone. Both are correct.

This is not the answer that you're looking for.\n\nI just have a major bee in my bonnet about the abhorrent standard of English used in this media.\n\nThanks. I have got it off my chest now !

Same reason they start sentences with "Honestly" or "I swear to god".\n\nAnd it's not just Americans.\n\nBTW, did you know that when someone is being dishonest, they are more likely to invoke the name of god?

They don't listen properly or read the question correctly.\n\nEngland UK

haha i hate it when people do that. i think it's because they're too ignorant to learn how to speak.

Because society allows them the ignorance. It's common and has almost become allowed to use incorrect grammar, or none at all! It's embarassing at time to those of us who have control of our language.

They look at it as the right way to do it, therefore they repeat it. They don't see it as a guideline. \n\nI think after a while of saying it so often, it would get a little tedious, don't you think? Saying the same thing over and over without making it personal. What's the point? \n\nI think also think it's part habit. For some people, it's been ingrained into their heads that this is what they are suppossed to do and at this time.\n\nKind of like pagan beliefs, yeah?

Only some men do this, and they probably do it for exactly the same reason that some women sulk when you dont give the correct answer to them.\n\nSome people react childishly.

Try to talk slowly and clearly, take your time and dont panic if they can't understand UK people can be quite rude to you if you don't speak english clearly but ignore them because they probably don't speak it properly anyway

You are just like me! I hate it when people also say "Hey" instead of "Hello". I think people fall into these trendy slang sayings which drive me crazy. Think for yourself and show some originality.
