    I had emails from CVS (American pharmacy store) about vaccination records recently and noticed this

    Administration date 2024-10-25

    First time I’ve seen dates used like that in a public-facing context. The birth dates were in that form, too.

    The US uses metric measures in many places, too. Usually medical, but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml.

      Phone thickness in millilitres? I knew they have a hard time mixing metric with imperial but this is kind of ridiculous
