minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•1 year agoCan’t we just call them month 1 to month 12 like CJK languages do?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•1 year agoBut in alphabetical order: 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year agoThis is not even in alphabetical order, three couldn’t be before the four.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoComputers sometimes sort in this logic: “1” is the first digit so everything that starts with “1” comes first. Alphabetical in this sense, not the names of the numbers written out as done in another comment under this post.
Can’t we just call them
month 1
tomonth 12
like CJK languages do?No, it has to be month 0 to 11.
But in alphabetical order: 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
