Only in the USA (and where such an absurd date formatting is used).
- carlob 11y agoHungary uses YYYY/MM/DD which is my favorite, because it's consistent with the endianness of numbers.
- nkrisc 11y agoInconvenient for computing and manipulating data, for sure, but not absurd. It matches nicely with what is a common pattern of speech in American English when talking about dates. We more often say, "March sixteenth, [2016]" instead of "The sixteenth of March, [2016]." Besides, neither US nor Europe have it right. YYYY-MM-DD is the way to go.
