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.
- jazoom 9y agoThe 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.
- tatersolid 9y agoI 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.
