Coldest take: if any common date format is difficult for you, you're a little bit ridiculous
MM/DD/YYYY genuinely causes issues, because it's very easily misread by the rest of the world, and vise versa for Americans.
I have been mislead more than once, because the MM and DD are both ≤ 12.
MM/DD/YYYY needs to die
Month Day YYYY is fine, because it's unambiguous when the month is spelled out.
YYYY.MM.DD, or similar, is the only way to sort dates properly anyway.
I don't actually disagree with anything you said, I was just being a bit cheeky
It's all fun and games until someone drops a 7/4 and you don't know which country they're from
November 9 never forget.
Context clues are enough for me, 4/7 times
I only deal with people from one country, but I always write out the month so there's no confusion in important messages. Even including the day of the week as a type of verification.
I usually go for if it has a / its probably US date formate...
We use dots in our Locale
RIP Australia and our DD/MM/YYYY (and rest of the former British Empire I assume).
Drives me nuts when software doesn't properly localise.
Looking at you, Excel for web which defaults to MM/DD/YYYY in our company for some reason, even though the desktop app has no issues...
Happy not allowed! There can only be one correct date format!
