European here. When I state my date of birth I state it as “7th of October 1990”.
When a date is within the current year I state it as for example “27th of June”.
If weekday matters, and specific date is still relevant I’ll say for example “Monday 27th of June”.
I might also simply say “Sunday last week”, “Monday next week”, “Monday at the end of next month”, etc.
Likewise I might say “a couple of weeks ago”, “last week”, “a few days ago”, “in under two weeks”, etc.
Depends on context.
When including a date in a file name I prefer YYYY-MM-DD for date.
When using dates in a directory hierarchy I’ll have years on the top level, with months within them and dates within those.
Sometimes I might use a format like YYYY-mm-ddTHHMMz_s in a file name. For example “something_2022-06-20T1722+0000_1655745728_more_text.tbz”
- mtoddsmith 4y agoYYYY-DD-MM as a folder / filename does not sort correctly. Not a fan. I much prefer YYYY-MM-DD for its sorting behavior.
- codetrotter 4y agoSorry, that was a typo. I meant to say YYYY-MM-DD. Edited now.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoImportant note: while a datestamp like YYYY-MM-DD does sort correctly, a datetime stamp such as YYYY-MM-DDThh-mm-ss does not because of DST and negative leap seconds.
- elromulous 4y agoWhere in Europe? I imagine this might vary by language / region. And could even differ in official use vs vernacular. And ofc, the mixed order is the inferior option.
