As a child, I learned the USA system of dating. I understood it, I used it, and
found nothing wrong with it. When I changed over to Panamanian schools, I was
hit with the reality that they didn't work that way. After a few months, I had
changed over to their system. Now, I find nothing wrong with this one. My father
still uses the USA system, since he is not in school. In my own personal papers
and pov script files, I have taken to using the D/M/Y system. It is times like
this that I feel detached from my North American roots and I feel kinda sad
about having 2 nationalities and living in the country I like least of the two.
Perhaps I should detach from both nationalities and start using the Japanese
system (Y/M/D). To breifly explain it, to them I was more important to know in
what year of what Emperor's reign they were, than to know what month or day they
were living.
