    Waiting for the ISO 8601 & 9001 gang to show up and promote YYYY-MM-DD.

    Edit: That took seconds, a very punctual bunch.

            I know. I started using the format with periods back in the 90s, before I knew of the standard, and at this point doing it with periods is muscle memory. That’s not meant as an excuse, just an explanation. The excuse is laziness.

              Same here but not in the 90s. Since discovering the standard I have switched though.

        They should also add a timezone since most of us don’t live at UTC zero timezones -> 2012-12-28T18:12:33+09:00

          They did; the Z at the end denotes UTC.

            My point was not everyone is just at UTC zero but sure Z is also a timezone.

          Most people communicate mostly with people in the same timezone’s, partially because most countries only have one timezone.

        It’s a flexible standard. 2026-05-10T10:06:09.426792Z, 2026-05-10 10:06:09.426792Z, 2026-05-10 10:06:09.426792 , and 2026-05-10 all conform to the standard.

      Anyone that gives me a document or receipt or invoice with a date formatted DD-MM-YYYY should have a tire iron swung at their thighs

      Multiple swings if they can’t decide on using DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY or DD-MM-YY or MM-DD-YY or YY-MM-DD or YY-DD-MM

        I rather have somebody write their invoices at DD-MM-YYYY cause there is a bigger chance it will most likely not be an invoice from a North American company which notriously cannot make proper invoices and most software that actually scans and processes invoices is based on the European standaard DD-MM-YYYY or on ISO8601.

          Were you mostly joking or is there a utility to this? Genuinely curious as someone that finds confusing things slightly more memorable in a really backwards way

            Yes I was joking, get a random timestamp in this format and you have no idea what it’s referring to.

            DD:HH:MM:SS:mm:yy is even better because it could be a MAC address.
