    I’m not kidding when I ask: are there really a lot of people using MM/DD/YYYY??

        Using a different date format that means the exact same thing anyway does not make you a moron.

          My favourite thing is that files are sorted automatically by date if you use yyyy-mm-dd. Sometimes there are just practical reasons.

      I 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.

      Pretty 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
