A Very Important Subject - gemj - 13th May 2018
so, date formats....
13/5/2018 is way more helpful than 5/13/2018 ! I mean you don't look at the date for the month, you look for the day and the dd/m/yyyy etc. gives you the day on the far left, where the eye looks first! Much more helpful!

RE: A Very Important Subject - Eternal - 13th May 2018
The United States uses mm/dd/yyyy format so I’m pretttyyy sure, we are going to stick with that one.
Wait was this a suggestion or a discussion. Either way US >>>
RE: A Very Important Subject - Pillz - 13th May 2018

USA's calendar system is indeed shit.

dd/mm/yy makes way more sense, in my opinion.
RE: A Very Important Subject - Uptight 534 - 13th May 2018
I prefer fully writing the date out because it looks more professional and there is no ambiguity (i.e. 13 May 2018).

But it looks very unorganised, in my opinion at least.
RE: A Very Important Subject - thique - 13th May 2018
mm/dd/yyyy makes way more sense. How does the day first make sense. Like its 5/13/2018, 13/5/2018 what. US ftw
RE: A Very Important Subject - Stxtics - 13th May 2018
day changes the most so u put it first, then month, then year
RE: A Very Important Subject - a7x3 - 13th May 2018
It is a little odd how the US put their dates
RE: A Very Important Subject - An|0n - 15th May 2018
The ISO standard is YYYY-MM-DD
With hyphens.
ISO 8601 < standard.
If you work in tech you'd BETTER have known that already or you deserve your head cut off with a chainsaw.

RE: A Very Important Subject - bls1999 - 15th May 2018
That's actually why the format for most dates/times on the forum is DDth Month YYYY, HH:II PM

You read it
"May 16th 2018"
"Not 16th of May 2018"

Some people read it in the latter way.

This is weird.
I've always read it "16th of May 2018"
American English 'pronounce' dates differently I see.
RE: A Very Important Subject - aaaaaa123456789 - 19th May 2018
ISO 8601 was created because of two countries in the world who write dates inside out for no good reason. One of them seems to believe that it's acceptable to use it as a default, too.
RE: A Very Important Subject - Fresh Cookies - 21st May 2018
I like MM/DD/YYYY because I know it's just America, but at the same time I'm so used to writing it out as "May 21st, 2018" that it fits that format. In diction, if someone were to ask "Hey, what day is it?" I'd respond with "Oh, it's May 21st!". The year usually isn't relevant in conversation, so...
