Wait, I thought Americans use M/D/Y not Y/D/M?
- silisili 1y agoWe do, almost exclusively. We'll use Y/M/D for systems or ordering, sometimes. I can't recall having ever seen Y/D/M used in any notable sense.
- chungy 1y agoThis is correct, the most common short-hand format in America is MM/DD/YYYY (possibly two digits in the last group). Dates like 05/28/2025 and 28/05/2025 are unambiguous enough to deal with order differences, dates like 06/03/2025 are not. Year first and dashes is pretty much exclusively YYYY-MM-DD, no ambiguity; 2025-03-06 cannot be interpreted in any manner other than "the sixth day of the third month of the year 2025"
- apricot 1y agoOP is probably little-endian.
