North America

I often found that in my life, a good majority of the people were idiots. No matter what I said, they would find a way of confusing it, and so the conversation would drag on much longer than I wanted to with the specific idiot I was talking with at the time.

After dying, and when I finally cared to keep track of the days again, I just simply started using numerical dates when I referred to specific days unless it was in the week we currently were. Sometimes even then.

If others were talking about a specific day, and didn't use numbers, I would always say back to them what they had just said, for confirmation, including the numerical date.
