Default Question for those of you in the great white north...

One of my co-workers lives/works in Toronto, and I assume he's from there but for sure is Canadian by birth. Instead of saying 24/7 (or writing it that way) he says 7/24. I don't want to ask him why he's all ass-backwards, so I thought I'd ask "you." Is this a Canadian thing? A province thing? A him thing?

K thanks....

I don't know about the 24/7 thing.

They do say their grades backward though.

We go 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, etc.

They go to Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, etc.

He's ass backwards. Who the hell would say that?

It's 24/7!

Oh and I'm all screwed up with grades. I've taught in Canada, US, and England. Grade 1, 1st Grade, and Year 1. Whatever you call it!
