yyyy/mm/dd is especially useful for ordering entries on spreadsheets and databases.
i'm pretty sure we streamlined the process by removing two unnecessary syllables, similar to how we removed all those u's from words like colours and wourds.
From my last count "of" only added 1 extra syllable and simply removing a syllable does not make something better. An undue semi-colon can mess up "April 22nd" whereas it can do not such thing in 22nd of April.
Example: "I am looking forward to April; 22nd year of my life!" vs "I am looking forward to April 22nd; year of my life!"
Such a fallacy would never need clarification if you simply added "of".

Not sure if you realize that's the only way to sort dates both chronologically and alphabetically at the same time
yyyy/mm/dd
2013/11/29 (November 29th 2013)
2014/01/08 (January 8th 2014)
2014/07/20 (July 20th 2014)
2015/02/25 (February 25th 2015)
mm/dd/yyyy
01/08/2014 (January 8th 2014)
02/25/2015 (February 25th 2015)
07/20/2014 (July 20th 2014)
11/29/2013 (November 29th 2013)
If you name files or whatever using yyyy/mm/dd and sort them by name they'll be sorted in chronological order.
i was also counting the word "the." also you should be aware that in our new world order, no one anywhere will ever use semicolons for anything, ever. commas for all!!
Take a look at Anihawk's tag, please.
Why streamline the voicebox approach, when you can streamline how to sort such dates into chronological order? When humanity evolves further such that voiceboxes are just a vestigial husk, we'll still have that lovely, lovely simple computer-based chronological sorting to cuddle up to in the darkness of the nuclear winter.

So this week's thread would be Media Create Sales (12,382 - 12,388)
Date of your birth? why not the date of the vita's birth.
Damn, it becomes phenomenon among the kids I guess.
Would somebody gives mea clue what the kids there think about Youkai Watch?
Since we are at it, I want Anyhawk to list the advantages of using the Imperial system as opposed to Metric system.
OT: bracing myself for another boring, depressing week. When do things start to get interesting again? Mario Kart 8?
We have a poster (whose name I just can't recall) who works as a teacher in Japan and, from time to time, posts his impressions based on what the kids are saying. He usually is on the right mark. I mean, he was right about Wii U's launch and than, last Christmas, Wii U's mini-ascension.

Vinnk. Don't think he posts very often, but it's great when he does.
I'm not sure how anyone could ever Romanize ようかい (Youkai) as Yo-kai.
Hi, I'd like to buy a copy of "Yoo Ky Watch."
Since there's nothing really important this week (just Ace Attorney 1-2-3 for me, but I doubt anyone else would consider that important ), I doubt we'll get some leaks from our dear 'ol Gibson. Oh well.
Ah, but there's Youkai Watch too. We'll see if YW2 announcement had any impact on sales for now, since official announcement was last Monday.

What's so weird about it? Tokyo is spelled without the U as well?
edit: I missed that smiley at then end, sorry
We have to know the name.
Youkai Watch is the best move from Level-5 since Inazuma Eleven, imo. The new Pokémon, but not in that levels.
It'll randomly rally to 8.3k for reasons.
I dunno. I think if it's not *at* the floor, it's *near* it. I'm wondering how long it'll take before sales for everything creep up just a little due to people being used to the new taxation paradigm, but I don't think it'll be a significant creep, and I don't think it'll be this soon.

Maybe. It shall be interesting to see what happends with a PS4/Vita case
Are there any game related things to the NicoNico app on the 3DS? I see that its listed in that list, or is it just a mistake?
I sometimes think of "yo, Kai, watch (it, or out)" when i see the romanized titleI'm not sure how anyone could ever Romanize ようかい (Youkai) as Yo-kai.

Yeah after the tax increase, they really need to have another price drop later this year (and 3DSi with dual c-pad).
Are you trying to give us a Pop-GAF injection to compensate for Sammy Samusu's ban?
I hope to God you're being sarcastic. Japan absolutely need a healthy console in Japan. It's not going to be the Wii U and it's definitely not going to be the One. A console selling 13k is far from healthy, and we need the PS4 to start at least selling 20k per week.
Sammy got banned? For what? No wonder he doesn't appeared despite Youkai Watch crazy sales.

Vinnk?
I think it was about the gay marriage or gays in general in tomodachi life.
When would Japanese price drops generally be announced? E3 seems inappropriate.

Japanese traditional games industry is deaaad.... No wonder Japense devs are jumping ship to mobile.
I imagine with the tax hike everything needs a price drop for consumers to see it as worthwhile which was what I imagine companies don't want.

Probably this and the tax increases.
I don't get the doomsayers, isn't April always a depressing month for sales, especially with the recent tax increase?
Ah, there you are. I missed you last week, I was looking forward to seeing you celebrate the Vita taking the number one spot.
