minus-squareQuokka@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25arrow-down23·edit-21 year agoChina incorrectly places the month before the day as well?
minus-squareprayer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·1 year agoWikipedia says China uses Year, Month, Day exclusively, so they do place month before day.
minus-squarehypelightfly@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSo one of the only countries that does it correctly. (Day Month Year is just as wrong as Month Day Year)
minus-squareQuokka@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29arrow-down6·1 year agoOh shit yeah ISO 8601, that’s cool. Thought it was like the stupid M/D/Y thing.
minus-squareDogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoWow ok. Do they do that in practice? Like in Australia we measure everything in metric… except for all the things we measure in imperial.
minus-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-21 year agoLive in China, yes it’s consistently applied. But they also spell it out, i.e. today’s date would be 2023年10月4日 (year-month-day / nian-yue-ri), so the order is unmistakably.
