We should be getting rid of locales, not putting them into more things.
The place where I live shouldn't define the way numbers or dates are presented to me, or the measurement units I use. That's what international standards are for.
- da_big_ghey 5y agoNo person is wanting "standard" for date, which are the yyyy/mm/dd. Only dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy. I am agreeing for a setting is better comparing with locale. We are needing a default for a person, though, this is the locale purpose.
- kortex 5y agoUhhh I'm a person and I use YYYY/MM/DD and DD Mon YYYY (1 Jun 2021). I worked in a chemical lab for a while with a fairly international group of chemists, and those were the two preferred timestamp formats.
- TazeTSchnitzel 5y agoYYYY-MM-DD is actually the standard date format in a few countries, such as Sweden.
