The greatest country in the world - Lemmy.world

DD/MM/YYYY is the best in my opinion

I agree with this because if you were to say the whole thing verbally, you generally start with the day, the month then the year.

“It is the 9th of August in the year of our Lord 2023.”

In the USA most people would say “august 9th”, not “the 9th of august”, which is one of the reasons mm/dd/yyyy is the standard format here
Which extrapolated, who the fuck would say “the September of 2024” and not “September, 2024” for example
Not sure if you’re joking but “the 9th of August” is short for “the 9th [day] of August,” so if you think of it that way, your “the September of 2024” extrapolation isn’t really fair. It’d be more like “the 9th month of 2024” which actually would be reasonable if months didn’t have names, but they do.
