Did you have a source for that? Wikipedia disagrees with you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_forma

  Ok then s/most/much Over 2.8 billion people, a bit less than half of the worlds population commonly use a date format other than dd/mm/yy. My point stands; use ISO-8601 to avoid ambiguity. We run a SaaS application that spits out ISO-8601 date formats in reports. Hundreds of thousands of “normal humans” seem to under that format just fine.

    The only thing you took issue with was me saying most of the world uses dd/mm/yy. In fact, I suggested that it is ambiguous for the reason you described. I'm not sure what you're trying to convince me of.

      I inferred from the tone that you were suggesting the whole world adopt “your” chosen date format. Text-based messaging is not great for expressing or deciphering non-literal meaning.
