YES! The best day EVER!

It only works if you use the archaic American convention of Month/Day/Year.

To anyone outside of the U.S. who uses Day/Month/Year or Year/Month/Day, today is nothing special.




Well, actually, it is kind of special. Today is the first day that I've ever eaten moose, so it is somewhat of a new and unique day...

You can't use D/M/Y notation as there is no 31st day of April.
Y/M/D might work but you will need to wait until 2031 on April 15.

Pi Day is an American holiday!

Canadians use an inconsistent mish-mash of American and British forms, both in language and in everything else.

People like me who went through school before computers tend to use more British and European usages. The younger generations tend to use more American usages, because they do most of their work on computers, and most software is American-made. So, the defaults in Microsoft Office and stuff derived from it are always in American, and you have to care enough to fight your way through the settings and get rational date formats, etc. If you just go with the defaults and don't customize, the software will slowly but surely push you into American spelling, American grammar, American units of measurement, etc.

It's March 15th now, so whatever you say is meaningless dribble.
