- xigoi 4y agoI've never seen anyone write dates as YYYY-DD-MM. That's even crazier than MM/DD/YYYY.

- xigoi 4y agoI know that Americans use MM/DD/YYYY. But YYYY-DD-MM???
- fancy-dill 4y agoAnd I've never seen anyone write time with minutes or seconds before the hours. Time: hh:mm:ss, never mm:ss:hh or ss:mm:hh Why should the date format be any different?
- xigoi 4y agoTime goes from the largest to the smallest: hours, minutes, seconds. And the same applies to date: years, months, days.
- Symbiote 4y agoI've certainly seen things like "ten past four" written, and it's commonly spoken, but so are "four ten" and "sixteen ten". But the date is most commonly spoken in Europe (including in Britain and Ireland) in the form "twelfth of August, twenty twenty-two", so 12/8/2022 (the most common date format in UK/IE) follows from that.
