I don't know, I'm German and deal with US folks a lot, for me it's like this: Date written with slashes or dashes (3/11/2021 or 3-11-2021) implies US-based month/day/year. Date written with dashes and the year first and zero-padding (2021-03-11) implies year-month-day, aka ISO8601. Date written with dots and without padding (11.3.2021) implies my native format, day.month.year.
- edoceo 6y agoIsn't the point of ISO to eliminate that guess/search process and replace with 100% accuracy on read?
- rodelrod 6y agobut then you get an email from an American living in Paris and it's 11/3/2021 with dashes and God knows what he meant.
- Macha 6y agoUK/Ireland are pretty interchangeable about the seperators, but I'd guess D/M/Y has a strong lead over second place d/m/y, while d.m.y is trailing in last.
