nixCraft 🐧date formats 😅

YYYY/MM/DD supremacy
Charlotte Ariel Finn@albinanigans @nixCraft Not to defend the practice, but when I say a date out loud, I say "March 21st, 2021" or the like, so that translated to numerical format makes some sense.
But yes, for record keeping, year-month-day is better 'cause it's easier to sort by date!
James@Charlotte @albinanigans @nixCraft When I say a date out loud I say First of February 2023. The US date format is weird to most of the rest of the world (not bad, just weird)
@hijames @albinanigans @nixCraft Yeah, it's a pretty persistent thing with the US and it bleeds over into Canada. We are technically metric, but interacting so much with the US means we have to use a lot of imperial as well.
