DD/MM/YY and YY/MM/DD are the only acceptable ones IMO. Throwing a DD in between YY and MM is just weird since days move by faster so they should be at one of the ends and since YY moves the slowest it should be on the other end.
I'm not kidding when I ask: are there really a lot of people using MM/DD/YYYY??
Almost 350 million of us morons down south of you.
🤣
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.
But there are a lot of other things that do 👈😎👈
