Great point. Itās why I use āUSian.ā (Even in conversation, which makes people look at me strangely but thatās okay.)
Donāt even get me started on decimal and thousand denotations. There is supposed to be an international standard for it but a few years ago i recall looking it up and different countries have very different denotations for it.
The first time I encountered āthousand millionsā on the Grauniad UK, I was rahthah taken aback.
Not really true, YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601) is the official standard. I was taught DD-MM-YYYY comme les Brits, but we are so inundated with US culture that it is routine to consider the possibility that the writer has used the US system, even more so in the computer age. Before the turn of the century, of course, it was common to just use YY for the year, so a date like 07/10/05 could cause maximum confusion.
We say ānine elevenā like the USians, though, unless we are in a particularly cantankerous mood.
I managed a little over two minutes of that before my tinnitus kicked in.
Film-makers - you donāt need that much static, and you really donāt need it to be that loud.
Iāll assume it was funny.
Iām sorry.
Yes, it was very funny.
This took me a minute.
Innit a corker?
Maybe heās got a cork innit.
Thereās the problem.
Why do people say āout ofā my ear? Shouldnāt it be āwith?ā
p.s. I still donāt get the joke.
Scotty says āYes, Iām deaf in itā.
Jokes explained, reasonable rates.
āGet this penguin out of my ear, doc, heās driving me nutsā.
but
āGet this penguin out with my earā is probably a lot more dadaist.
Oh for goodnessā sake. SMH 
etc
For that joke, no charge.
