If a European tries to make fun of the American date format, ask them how that say the number 186.

If their language says it "one hundred eighty six" or something close to it, then fine, whatever, let them criticize.

But if their language says it as "one hundred six and eighty", or even worse, "one hundred four twenty six", then they can politely shut their mouth.

Poirot: Americans put the month before the day Hastings.

Hastings: Well.

Poirot: They are backwards people.

As a developer with 40+ years in the backpack, I'm thinking my next project will only accept dates as YYYYMMDD (and YYYY-MM-DD), and force usage of 24h time. I may, possibly, allow for dates to be *displayed* as DD-MMM-YY (or -YYYY) ... 🤔

This is my silent revenge on y'all for not pushing for standardizing on the only logical date and time formats 😎 😉 🤓

UPS emailed me to say they're about to deliver a parcel "Sat, 12th April". Or, maybe part of their system is cursed and uses middle-endian date format, which screwed-up how a different part of their system parses dates, and the parcel is due to arrive today? 🤷🏼‍♀️
