YYYY-MM-DD everything else is wrong.
sniff sniff
You smell that? They’re coming, the ISO 8601 gang.
YYYY-MM-DD OR DEATH
DD is day in year, I think dd is what you mean. Also, YYYY is week year, so better to use yyyy.
yyyy-MM-dd
YMD is primarily used in:
China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, Hungary, Mongolia, Lithuania, Bhutan, Sweden
That is one weird country group.
China and Japan switched from their old calendar system, which was using the start of their current emperor inauguration as the first year, reset with each new emperor.
So I guess it was easier to choose the only correct date format.
That just dictates what number the year starts at, not the order of writing down a date. They do traditionally go from general to specific though. When writing an address in China, you go Country - State - City - Street - Person (I forget where the postal code goes).
ISO-8601 or bust.
I prefer RFC 3339. It allows you to omit the “T” for example. Like this: 1985-04-12 23:20:50Z
Meh. DD.MM.YYYY
Meh. (D)D.(M)M.YY
I do DD.MM.YY
I don’t like the leading zeros
Back in the 2000’s it was way more confusing. The appointment is on 10/09/11, when the hell is that?
Best date was 11.11.11
There was a loud countdown to 11:11:11 o’clock, the teacher was powerless
Americans once again imposing there inefficient systems onto everyone else. It goes DAY MONTH YEAR not MONTH DAY YEAR
But when you talk about the date you say “January 24th, 2024” not the other way
No I say “Vierundzwanzigster Januar”
