    I’m glad you get to definite wrong for everyone else

    It’s not the boon it seems to be.

    There are a variety of formats that are thriving and in constant use all over the world that differ from what you consider correct

    I’m aware. That’s why it’s annoying to be the one who determines right and wrong, nobody listens.

    In every left to right language, the largest value numerical digits are on the left, smallest value digits are on the right.

    The country doesn’t matter. Years are bigger than months. Months are bigger than days. If your country does anything other than YYYY*MM*DD, they’re doing numbers wrong.

    That sounds super weird.
    Does the school provide a Google account and email?
    Even if they wanted it for authentication purposes, they’d have their own setup through Google. They wouldn’t insist on you having one.

    Is it just one teacher?
    Ask another, see what they say.
    If they confirm that’s how it works, then just make a gmail account for school.
    If not, then you can decide how much you want to push back and educate this one teacher.






  • There is no universal problem-solving technique.

    Is it a problem with a machine, a person, a system made of several or both? Or is it a problem with one’s self?

    Is it a positive problem? Something happening too much?
    Is it a negative problem? Something not happening enough?

    The closest you can get to universal advice is: Try something different, see how that changes things, then repeat. But even that might be a bad idea in a few situations.








  • You have to accept the invitation to an event.

    Unless you’re just sharing a calendar and adding an event without inviting the other participants?

    Sharing a calendar doesn’t automatically mean everyone it’s shared with needs to be there. It could just be shared so others know what you have going on and where you’ll be. It doesn’t mean they need to be there also.
