[AKX20000]

four more years

seriously though, I can't see at all how anyone would read it like that either

Ha, my bad.

Maybe because in the US, dates are written Month/Day/Year? So it's only natural to assume that when it's written with the year first, followed by two single numbers that happen to be sequentially after that year, that you're talking about subsequent years? If you're from the US, I can't see how you can't see how it could be read like that.

I don't even understand what you just posted in the slightest.

I see dates written all sorts of ways though, even for US stuff. So I don't see how posting year first would've been an actual issue or one that could actually of been read the way you did. Especially in this case.

Then get better reading comprehension.

I don't see why you're making this to be such a big deal. It was an honest mistake that you're blowing out of proportion for no reason. 2013/4/5 can easily be read sequentially the same as one would read 3/4/5. If you can't understand this, then that's on you.

And I don't see why it's "especially in this case", as if it had been 2013/8/6 or something wherein the numbers are completely unrelated. And even if you see dates written in multiple ways, the standard form in the US is still mm/dd/yyyy.

I understood it after I reread, but just didn't bother editing my post.

I can understand it for anything that's not anything related to actual dates in the slightest

though I honestly have less of a problem with it, and more with your attitude in response to my posts

"especially in this case" because if you're reading a theatre screening continuing for that long when that's not explicitly stated there should probably be a red light going off in you're head that you're misreading stuff and should rethink it

ps: "standard form" is a shitty argument imo, but w/e

You started with the attitude before I ever responded to your posts. Get the chip off your shoulder.

It did trigger a red light, but then I remembered it's SHAFT. They'll do anything to milk money from a franchise. Again, you're just making a huge deal out of nothing. I even originally said "ridiculous beyond belief", implying something didn't seem right. But noooooo, apparently everyone has to go into meticulous detail before posting, and aren't allowed to make a post and then think about it later. Oh wait, that's exactly what you just admitted to doing yourself in regards to my post. Nice hypocrisy.

Holy shit are you fucking serious? Your first response was so much full of condensending atitude and "everyone in the US should think like me" mindset that you hardly have any room to talk at all.

Ok, I'm calling bullshit on this one.

Name me any time this has been done to a degree that far exceeds other studios to the point where it's actually worth noting.

Too bad a numbered date should be faster to rethink it and realize how you misread it vs a whole string of sentences.

Like it shouldn't of even taken half a second.

Where did you get that? All I stated is the common form of writing a date in the US. You're the one who started off questioning how someone could even think/read the way I did. How is that not an attitude?

No, they should take the same amount of time, which is to reread it. Clearly neither of us did. Difference? You edited your post 10 minutes later, implying you had thought of something else to say. Yet you hadn't figured out how to read what I said yet. That, or you were too lazy to change a few simple words. Me? I quickly perused while at work, made a quick reply because it seemed to ridiculous and wanted clarification, and then checked again when I got home.

It was legitimate questioning. Your response is basically WELL YOU SHOULD THINK THE WAY I DO.

Because a short sequence of numbers should take as long to read and process as a full sentence. No it shouldn't.

I will admit fault for making my post before rereading and not bothering to edit the post saying I now understood it. But in the time it took to type up your post it should've already been painfully obvious that it's a normal date. Not to mention your response to my post wasn't really called for either.

It was most likely a late grammar/spelling/wording fix.
