    Essentially that (they just assumed was a fact) all other countries worldwide follow the American calendar, years, language, everything.

    Specifically they were arguing China was in the same exact “year” as the United States.


    Or maybe people I watched “speak in tongues.” Complete morons.

      As it happens, China does have dual dating since 1912 (with some fluctuation), using the Gregorian calendar for most things except traditional holidays, which are celebrated according to the Chinese calendar.

      The Gregorian calendar is generally one of the safer things to bet on, in this day. What could be that person’s thinking with the languages, however, that I don’t know.
