- btilly 16y agoTo the best of my knowledge, no. One of the reasons for the ISO date standard being YYYY-MM-DD is that there is no country in which the interpretation of a date given that way is at all ambiguous. There are countries with DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY, so you really do have to put the year first to avoid ambiguity. However the 79 in 1979 cannot be a month or a day.
- skibum 16y agoOh it can't? Right. Like hey, let me salt a clue here. Oops, better make sure it's ISO compliant. I want to get hired later, after all... Subtlety, obfuscation, and misdirection; welcome to the Middle East.
- aufreak3 16y agoI agree with what you meant to say, but I don't approve of how you said it.
