Thank you for that , I thought the same and tried to see if it made any difference but it did not. The problem has been resolved thanks to the help from treetops. As I suspected it was a Google preference issue, I thought I had set all my preferences  to US as shown in my screenshot a few replies above, but apparently I had not. 

I tried it numerous times for the exact same searches BEFORE suggesting it, and it worked every single time without fail. Without US VPN...Thai date. Switch on US VPN...western date. 

 

Anyhoo, glad u got sorted out.

It gets bad when they mean July 2nd 2023 and printed expiration date 07/02/2023 (so appears to most of the world expired 5 months ago).

JUst take 543 away from the date

It's true but not easy to do when you are researching an issue and have dozens of search returns all with different dates.

For you guys dont eat food that is still good, How about us that eat expired European food thinking it is still good? While nothing much happens to you , We get sick!! We should sue you and your dangerous system.????

All a matter of perspective, In china they put the year first. 

   The way I understand it is that the US borrowed their format from the  English from when they were an English colony. The UK changed their format to match the rest of Europe in the 20th century but we never did. 

I would have thought that with Brexit they would have changed back LOL

It gets worse with medical reports - had to explain the international system to doctors in US more than once over the years.  Most of us are still using yards/feet/inch for measurement and think 37 is a cold day in Maine.

True.

Since most of the world uses the Metric system, I am in favor of all of us using the same system, but then there is economics and money spend .

 No one wants to make the initial investment and is trapped in a legacy system. 

Not different than the English driving on the wrong side. Can you imagine the chaos it would cause for Thailand to change the side people are used to driving on , so they are trapped into a legacy system , where most of the world  drives on the right. 

There was a move for the US to convert to the Metric system  in the seventies, but I think it was abandoned during the Reagan era because it was too expensive.

Obviously my typing is worse than my math - it should read 'can't' rather than 'can'.

That is the the stupid american date format, viz 7/18/23. The real western world uses 18/07/23 (18 July 2023). The american date format is so stuffed up every month until the 13th of each month, viz is 7/1/23 the 1st of July OR 7th January. Only americans would know it was supposed to be July 1st. The yanks have not only corrupted the english language but the calendar as well.

That's what happens when you learned to type on an M28 Teletype - computers are just not the same.

[Satcommlee]

This has annoyed me too for years , it got so bad that I had to learn that 2566 = 2023.

Ok let me aske you this. what flows better and is communicated with an economy of words when you are asked when something occured?

july 18th 2023 or 18th of July 2023? notice the first was communicated using thee words,and numbers  and the second was communicated  using  four words and numbers,  If you were a contestant on Wheel of fortune it would had cost you extra capital to purchase a vowel , and that my friend is simply wasteful.

With throwing your vowels around  No wonder we had to come in an pull your <deleted> out oh the fire WW2 .

Waste not, want not, is the moral of the story.

and that's exactly why americans have corrupted the english language and calendar. They take short cuts with the language by spelling everything phonetically, and your wheel of fortune explanation is a joke. In the PROPER english language the DATE is ALWAYS first followed by the month and then the year. Here's where's there's a huge problem, those of us that live in the real english speaking world don't read 9/11 as Sept 11th but as 9th November, and that's the MAJORITY of the english speaking world.

Perhaps you should have used fewer, (or is it less in your case?) words and we might have found the joke somewhere!

You don't really think I seriously thought that the American system is supperior because it uses less words? Or that the discrepancy had any relationship to what happened during WW2  ?

Who am I to argue with the ministry of funniness.

I learned my lesson from the debate of putting one thing on top of another , when I tried to suggest that we could also put things next to each other, and now defer to the experts. 

I also want to take this opportunity to promise to try and  be funnier in the future but by no means  does such promise guarantee final product.

Prices will vary , tax where applicable.
