Somewhat tangentially, I can highly recommend ISO 8601 to make life easier for all us non-Americans.

- geitir 6y agoI used to dislike the American format then I realized it's ordered in max(m) < max(d) < max(y) which made me like it more
- Jedd 6y ago, it or but how the hell does that make more usable likeable? Interesting (For your convenience I've sorted that question by len(word))
- artursapek 6y agoThe format OP used is how we naturally pronounce dates - “September 4th, 2019”. Nobody says “2019 September 4th”.
- Jedd 6y agoWhich we do you mean? In Australia and the UK (at least) the standard spoken form would be '4th of September, 2019'. This aligns with traditional short-date formats in those countries (dd/mm/yy[yy]). But that just emphasises why adoption of an international standard is needed.
