minus-squareBrownian Motion@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down1·1 year agoThis. I can handle DDMMYY[YY] it reads correctly. But YYYYMMDD is numerically correct, most signifcant to least significant digitwise. That thing only American’s do, is completely non-sensical.
minus-squareIcalasari@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·1 year agoIt is sensical for one use: “So when is the event?” “May 20th, 2024” It’s such a niche use, though
minus-squareAscyron@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·1 year agoI think that’s because you’re used to hearing dates said that way? Over here in DDMMYY-land, we often would say “20th of May, 2024” and that sounds equally sensical to me tbh
minus-squareIWantToFuckSpez@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAnd in a lot of countries they just say 20 May, 2024. So no ordinal numbers for the day.
minus-square18107@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoAmericans always put the month first. E.g. July 4th.
minus-squareMalfeasant@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoExcept when we don’t, like 4th of July…
minus-squarepseudonym@monyet.cclinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI absolutely loath the American favorite: 8/9. Like fuck, is that August 9th, September 8th, or just a fraction??
