As someone from a yyyy-mm-dd country, you're all wrong /hj
yyyy-mm-dd is specified by ISO 8601, so there's really no argument it isn't the objectively correct format.
There's also RFC3339, which is freely available and compatible with the most common ISO8501 profile.
What about RFC 9557, which is an update to RFC 3339?
I had not heard of that one, thanks! Looks like a good extension.
I always use yyyy.mm.dd as my date format whenever I sign and date documents. I also use a pictograph instead of initials. Someone tried to forge a contract edit to try and get out of paying but used the mm/dd/yy format. The moment my lawyer showed this to their lawyer, they settled immediately for the original amount, legal fees, and late payment penalties. Dumbasses.
That's beautiful. I love a bit of personal standards to fuck someone else's day up.
I typically change my responses on the form to Calibri if using MS Office. It's not enough to pique anyone's interest, but it's different enough to spot what I've added to a form rather than the usual Arial additions if you've been told about it.
Someone at my office tried to say I'd said something on a form when I hadn't, and took great delight pointing out the slight difference in typeface on the field that wasn't my edit.
It's satisfying as fuck coming back at someone with receipts.
So I could use a different than usual date format for a document I might want to recall
The situation was more like "Dear lawyer, your clients have committed a federal felony offense and they did it in such a sloppy manner that they didn't even follow our standard document formatting. Drop the suit, have them pay our legal fees and a fine, and we won't inform the US District Attorney and then ask the State Bar of Texas to look into whether you knowingly partook in this scheme".
I'm glad I'm near retirement. These sort of situations chip away at the soul.
All legal documents here use yyyy-mm-dd so I'll unfortunately won't be able to pull that :3
And what is that country? Unixopia? Linukstadt? Databaseo?
Lithuania if you want the serious answer :3.. china, japan, both koreas, taiwan, bhutan, mongolia and hungary also use it
But yes, im from linuxstan :3
How is it living in a theocracy worshipping our lord and savior Richard Stallman?
"There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels."
Anyway, the point of linking that page is that RMS is a saint, not a god.
It's the only correct way to save file names
Why can't Trump use unitary executive theory to do something good...like force everyone to use ISO 8601.
Nah. Someone would make up some convoluted and confusing template, pass it to Trump as "freedom dates", and he's sign it without reading.
And then head right back to the golf course to mooch even more tax dollars.
Doing dumb shit like imperial, farenheit and mm dd yyyy is the most conservative thing possible. By definition.
Would probably claim it's chinese propaganda or smth, and then go back to golfing
I’m similar I just don’t use - or anything. Works well when I sort concert recordings.

As long as month goes in the middle and the year is 4 digits, no confusion.
