Why? dd/mm/yyyy isnt practical. If you are asking someone to check out part of a book, you wouldn't say "paragraph 4, chapter 3", you start broad and become more specific. Calendars, at least in the US, are organized by month. You have turn turn to the month page before finding the date, it makes more sense to say month first because its the first piece of information that you need (unless its a more rare case that you are talking about an event in another year).

Im sure programmers prefer something different, but humans shouldn't have to communicate differently to make computing easier. Computing exists to make human life easier, not the other way around.

That's a path I can't walk buddy, I think it's better we end it here before we get too attached.

You're all too ambiguous!

04-Aug-2026 is the only acceptable format

You can’t guess wrong.

The Spanish would write Ago

The French would write Août

The Greek would write Αυγ

Arabic speaking would write أغسطس

Using words doesn't seem as universal as numbers.

Ya know, I really think every language needs to agree on having a distinct month, day, and year marker to completely eliminate all date confusion. And I mean something universal, even if it's as simple as a sun symbol for days and moon symbol for months, similar to Japanese. Whenever I see a date in Japanese, I am absolutely never confused at all and I appreciate it.

Can we make every month 28 days while at it?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're thinking to hard. The best way to write a date is Julian. Today is 26216.

[–] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

So… this Julian.. is he a friend of yours?
