I do wonder. I know of the opposite problem in other spheres (some areas in physics), where it is hard to run scientific programs under Windows, and some people resort to WSL, but many also just run Linux on the metal.

EDIT: With Mac, I do not know.

I don’t see how your example is ‘funny’. That’s what you expect to get. -5² is -25. (-5)² = 25.

(This doesn’t consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn’t attribute this picture, I’ll edit my comment.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.
