Please always write your date fields with the correct number of leading zeros.
You've also written it in "outer right hand side of a ledger" notation instead of the more correct ISO-8601

- Symbiote 10y agoI was describing how 99% of British people would write the date, particularly in handwriting. It's how I was taught to write it on schoolwork. Official forms in Britain (and most of Europe) use the leading zeros, DD/MM/YYYY, though the separator can be / - . or a mixture.
- mjevans 10y agoIt's less broken than the mixed insanity that is popular in America, and as I described, there is a functional situation in which the ordering might even be preferential. Never the less, the one true date format is ISO 8601, and it should be used everywhere there isn't a clear and over-riding reason to use another format.
