Christmas for example should be 25.12.2016.

If we are going to do anything, we would write it as 20161225! Biggest to smallest!

"Christmas is on December twenty fifth, twenty sixteen".
We don't say, "Christmas is on twenty five December twenty sixteen".
And three feet is three feet! How the fuck someone came up with "Since 1983, the metre has been officially defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second" is beyond me (the dumb american).

That's the coder in you talking! This is my preferred date format too!
LOL @ this failed attempt of a number line!
They all swear by the imperial system, until they visit a hospital or have to built a computer/sofware... then all the thumbs, feet, elbows, stones, pebbles, yards go out the window. The metric system represents order, logic, and scale. No can defend.
