China uses YYYY/MM/DD, which is logical.
replyWhat China (and Japan) uses is YYYY年MM月DD日, which IMO is the superior date format since it's self-explanatory - the sections are spelled out right there!
replythe only logical format.
replysigned: a hungarian :)
For me, the only format that doesn't make sense is the MM/DD/YYYY, together with its rarely seen worse sibling, MM/DD/YY (07/27/26).
replyLet's just go with YM/DY/MD (27/26/07)
replyBut only for Americans, and make them weirdly dogmatic about it.
replyAgreed. It's objectively mixing the order (medium/small/large)
replyYou can sort dates and they are in order with this format.
replyYou mean a Big Endian.
reply20270727 if we're improving dates :)
replyJumbling together year, month and day and having to separate them by counting digits is not an improvement for human readability. (And you have the year wrong.) Any of “27 July 2026”, “July 27, 2026” or “2026-07-27” would be superior.
replyIt's good because it's an actual standard instead of 7/27 which is backwards for half the world. Besides, I'm actually from the future and they delayed the model a year, learning from Anthropic that good models are actually about to bring the end of society.
replyISO 8601 ftw
reply270727 if we want to save tokens :)
replyY2K100 bug for you, then ;)
replyLooks like another LeetCode problem about checking for anagrams.
replyor 27/7 for the rest of the world
replyMost life forms don’t use any calendar actually.
replyDon't even have to go that far, outside of white-collar jobs and some groups weirdly obsessed with scheduling, most people don't use calendars at all, but their manager/boss/significant-other does that for them :)
replyNo, 27-7 for the rest of the world.
replyThe separator is often the only way to distinguish American notation from ISO, so please use a dash for dd-mm-yy and a forward slash for mm/dd/yy
Have never seen 27-7, as someone in rest-of-world
replyIn my time it was “27/VII 1986” in Russia.
replyThis is so confidently wrong it's funny. In Australia dd/mm/yy is the default.
replyI've never seen dd-mm-yy. It's usually dd.mm.yy, dd.mm.yyyy, or yyyy-mm-dd, with some dd/mm/yy sprinkled in for general confusion.
replyOr 27.7. in some other places.
replyNope,
replyThere are quite some countries around the world using d/m/y

Algeria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile...
Not really. Spain's traditional format is dd/mm/yyyy with slashes. This applies for a good chunk of Europe. Germany/Austria uses dot, I think nordic countries embraced the dash. While you might see more adoption in offical/digital contexts, I just double checked a few popular spanish websites, all slashes.
reply27–7 would be 20.
replyYou mean 27.7
replyOr 11/Shrawan 2083 if you're in Nepal
