>>1-5-2024 >For the love of all that is holy, what is this date format. Most commonly used in the US. 'Cause we gotta show it like we say it. I think.

  With dashes? We almost always use slashes here in the US. The only time I see dashes is for ISO format, and that's year-first.
  • D13Fd 3y ago
    Yes. It’s less common but looks unremarkable to me.
  • WarOnPrivacy 3y ago
    Sure. It was the dominant written style throughout the 20th cent and folks kept on with it.
• Izkata 3y ago
  No, you have it confused with 1/5/2024. We don't use dashes with this order.

    I've seen dashes. Much less common but I have seen it used and I live in NYC.

      People sometimes get used to dashes in dates when / is an illegal character in a filename.

  I see mm/dd/yyyy much more often, though I did see mm-dd-yyyy or mm-dd-yy a fair amount in goverment and military work. See https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds5507.PDF https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds5507.PDF for example, page two. Though again, it's not as common as slashes.
