minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•18 days agoMM/DD/YYYY genuinely causes issues, because it’s very easily misread by the rest of the world, and vise versa for Americans. I have been mislead more than once, because the MM and DD are both ≤ 12. MM/DD/YYYY needs to die Month Day YYYY is fine, because it’s unambiguous when the month is spelled out. YYYY.MM.DD, or similar, is the only way to sort dates properly anyway.
