words_numberI really wonder how americans were able to fuck this one up. There are three ways to arrange these and two of them are acceptable!
It’s how the dates are typically said, here.
November 6th, 2020 = 9/6/2020.
(We basically never say the sixth of November. It sounds positively ancient.)
It’s easy to use, but I agree that YYYY-MM-DD is vastly superior for organization.
I’m canadian and I’ve always prefered this format for the same reason. 11/6/23 is november 6th 2023, not the 11th of June 2023, that’s weird.
Except that mm/dd/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy can be ambiguous, I definitely prefer the former if I’m not using an ISO date. But normally I just write ISO and my head translates to MMM dd,yyyy
