@silvermoon82 local standards are important and valid!

@silvermoon82 @nina_kali_nina Ok, but what's the time difference between the two celebrations in units of Small Boulders?

@pulkomandy @nina_kali_nina both are defined in the same IEEE standards

But I've never seen anyone use rectangular ones in France, except a teacher in uni to show it exists (same for resistor, bjt, mosfet ect)

@pulkomandy @nina_kali_nina
Funny... SI units is the opposite example

@pulkomandy @nina_kali_nina
The one i learned was "the best thing about standards is they are all different"

@Isocat it's as much universal as common knowledge is common, that's all

@nina_kali_nina but also note "Oxford spelling is not necessarily followed by the staff of the University of Oxford. The university's style guide, last updated in 2016, recommended the use of -ise for internal use" >headdesk<

@EnaWasHere @nina_kali_nina

This is the conundrum with trying to cut the number of rules and regulations, we have a tremendous bureaucracy over here in the Netherlands, Kafka would have been inspired. Did you know Kafka changed nationality without moving from Prague? Anyway to cut rules you need new ones to make that happen that's obvious.
