Waiting for the ISO 8601 & 9001 gang to show up and promote YYYY-MM-DD.

RFC 3339 if you please. Let's be prescriptive.

It's the only way that makes sense

They should also add a timezone since most of us don't live at UTC zero timezones -> 2012-12-28T18:12:33+09:00
They did; the
Zat the end denotes UTC. -
I know. I started using the format with periods back in the 90s, before I knew of the standard, and at this point doing it with periods is muscle memory. That's not meant as an excuse, just an explanation. The excuse is laziness.

MM/DD/YY for me.

That's ... why I'm here

For computing or sorting purposes, YYYY-MM-DD is best. But in day to day writing a date, I prefer DD-MON-YYYY.
Single letter for month is too ambiguous - how do you tell apart June, July and January? Also, what do O and N denote?

Multiple swings if they can't decide on using DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY or DD-MM-YY or MM-DD-YY or YY-MM-DD or YY-DD-MM

As a big ISO 8601 guy myself, I request explanation of this 9001 addition? Never heard of it till now and am optimistic

Don't go with this psycho! He mixes European style order with US style punctuation.

I never downvote people on Lemmy but I did for this one .... I just spent the past month going through some invoicing and paper receipts and it is absolutely infuriating to still see some businesses using MM-DD-YY while others insist on DD-MM-YY and some businesses have invoicing and receipt printers that use one or the other but not the same. It's not a big deal if you are dealing with documents that are a month or two old because you can guess from what time period they come from ... but it is absolutely confusing if documents get older than that.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Seems you missed the point, it's first three letters of the month, not one.
Edit: seems I missed the joke on the post. -
