Took me a while… Stupid American date format
311223
That was also what 100% of the comments on Reddit were about. I know we suck, just let me have this damnit.
OBVIOUSLY, it goes MONTH/DAY/YEAR
30 days/1day/365days
I don’t see the problem here cheif /s
It’s written how people say it: December 31, 2023.
Americans have a problem with literacy: hence why some will write “axe” when they mean “ask”. It’s just spelled the way they say it.
Asking us to change when large amounts of us can’t even read is just too much, cheif.
When someone asks what the date is, i always start with the day first. Then month, then year. Sometimes i will start with the day of week.
Today is the 22nd of June.
Only if you’re weird and write dates out of order lol
you mean the confusing american way
31 12 23
It took me a good 5 minutes trying to make sense of what was being said… And yeah. Now it makes sense.
I’m still puzzled at who thought month day year was a good way to write a date. And who agreed.
ISO 8601 needs higher adoption
It’s sadly how half of the internet thinks now
The most useful way long term is to do year-month-day. The most useful in the very short term is day-month-year. Month-day-year only makes sense if you are most interested in the month over days or years. (I.e. time scale of financial quarters.) Granted, it doesn’t take long to read a whole date any way you write it, so all the arguments seem to be a lot about nothing in the bigger scheme of things.
