It looks weird to me too, but it's hardly indecipherable. You have a four-digit year (2000), there's only 12 months in the year, so the "28" is the day and "03"

In ISO 8601 format, it'd be 2000-03-28. In American written format, it'd be March 28, 2000.
- beeboobaa3 2y agoWhat's weird about the most common date format in the world, dd-mm-yyyy?
- mjevans 2y agoISO8061 or RFC3339 are the only correct date formats; though if for some forsaken reason your ledger starts accounts on the right hand page and treats the left as part of a prior record, then placing the least frequently changing part of the date to the edge of the page is good as a primitive index. https://xkcd.com/1179/ https://xkcd.com/1179/ https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/ https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/522251/whats-the-difference-between-iso-8601-and-rfc-3339-date-formats https://stackoverflow.com/questions/522251/whats-the-differe...
- beeboobaa3 2y agoSure, for data-interchange. Good luck convincing normies.
- chungy 2y agoI've never encountered that particular format before, and based on that, I'll question the claim of "most common", but even still, I could understand what was meant.
- beeboobaa3 2y agoHave you ever left the united states?
- apitman 2y agoHey now, don't go insinuating us Americans are nearly that logical. We'd write 3/28/00 every time and consider it a job well done.
- vdfs 2y agoHow would you distinguish between them in some cases like: 03/03/03?
- DaSHacka 2y agoIn that case, you wouldn't have to. But this is exactly why people hate the ubiquity of dd/mm/yy and yy/mm/dd wheb dealing with american and european dates I, for one, am an enlightened yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss enjoyer which doesn't have such issues.
