Mothers' Day is May 9th here in the US.

Wonder why they are different?

US numerical system is different.

US time is different (am pm)

US weight and height system is different.

The US toilets even FLUSH different...

And you wonder about mothers day? :eek7:

The numerical system is not different. You must be thinking money ;b Isnt the Euro on base 10, now though?

Weight and height has several different units across the world, often several within the same country.

Think the direction toilets flush is more a function of location on the earth and Coriolis force than design.

As was mentioned, since the holiday is just another creation of "feel good, do nothing" govt legislation and merchants, I just thought it odd that they didnt coordinate it.

If you really are a Finn like your nickname hints a little, you should know that mother's day is around 9th of May here too.
