minus-squareBZ 🇨🇦@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up37arrow-down2·1 year agoI’m not kidding when I ask: are there really a lot of people using MM/DD/YYYY??
minus-squareCM400@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up33·1 year agoI think most Americans do. Or at least it was taught that way in school when I was growing up. Maybe it’s because of the way we speak dates, like “October 23rd” or “May 9th, 2005”. Regardless, the only true way to write dates is YYYY-MM-DD.
minus-squareclif@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·1 year agoPretty much every American I’ve ever met. Dates on drivers license, bank info, etc - all in MM/DD/YYYY … or even just MM/DD/YY I regularly confuse people with YYYY-MM-DD
minus-squarejwhardcastle@dmv.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up112·1 year agoAlmost 350 million of us morons down south of you.
minus-squareArchlinuxforever@lemmy.3cm.uslinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down40·1 year agoUsing a different date format that means the exact same thing anyway does not make you a moron.
minus-squarebiscuitswalrus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 year agoMy favourite thing is that files are sorted automatically by date if you use yyyy-mm-dd. Sometimes there are just practical reasons.
minus-squareGingeyBook@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down2·1 year agoBut there are a lot of other things that do 👈😎👈
