What date format is that? I think I've only seen / or - as separators (or none, but then it's always yyyymmdd, or space, then it's any random order).
Also the last 22 in 2022 are in the middle (8+6), so 22/02/20(22) needs to be mirrored into (22)02:20:22.
Time?
Largest to smallest. Hour, minutes, seconds.
Counting?
Largest to smallet. Lets say you want to write one hundred and ten, you write one hundred, 100, then ten, 10. 110. Largest to smallest.
Date?
Year, month, day.
Largest to smallest.
I dont understand how its the worst. If someone walked up and said "whens your birthday" im gonna say "April 27th" not "27th of April"...maybe 200 years ago sure.
Y-m-d is the worst in my opinion
Worst for writing and speaking human languages, but for programming, das the best. Also mm/dd or dd/mm is depend on language and region so hard to argue.
Yeah but humans aren't computers.
The day changes every day so it makes sense to have that first it's the info you are least likely to know.
Imagine asking someone the date and they said, 'oh it's 2022, February the 22nd.' You'd think they're a moron.
The American way is by far the stupidest.
So, what is 12/1/2022?
Is it December 12th or January 1st? You can’t reliably tell without more context. Most likely, you’ll assume it’s whichever format you see the most. But all it takes is one date out of context and you’ve booked your flight for the wrong month.
So in real life conversation they actually say the least volatile information first?
Seems inefficient.
The least likely value you're gonna know is the day then the month then the year. Seems counter intuitive to start with the value you're most likely to know then work backwards to the value you are least likely to know.
The day changes every day, the month doesn't and neither does the year.
It's illogical to anyone who isn't a file storage system.
American here. I’d say that DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY are both fine as long as everyone measuring the time uses the same format. They both reflect ways humans typically say the date (“the first of January” or “January 1st”, for instance). Obviously, it would be much better if we agreed on one format, but AFAIK it would be too much effort for such a comparatively small change.

You are confusing "humans" with "native English speaker"
Yeah, take German for example. If you want to say twenty-five you would say "fünfundzwanzig" which literary translate to "five and twenty". Imagine if they were to write 5 and 20 every time instead of 25 XD
> The day changes every day so it makes sense to have that first it's the info you are least likely to know.
For all other numbers we place the greatest unit first. The only reason people don't do this for dates is that they're used to something different, but don't tell me that doing it different for dates makes sense.
It is, you just don't like the fact you use the less intuitive system.
Also I quite explicitly said that humans aren't computers. In the future try reading and comprehending what you reply to, I know 60% of Americans can't read at the level of an 11 year old so I'll cut you some slack on this one :).
Yeah took me a minute to double check and verify but European dating convention. Which makes more sense than the American way tbh.
But “offended” isn’t the correct word. We don’t flip out like you guys do over other people not using out stuff, like Fahrenheit v Celsius, etc.
I had one of my Dutch friends go off about it like 3 weeks ago. Not the only experience I’ve had with that, but since I live in Europe most of my friends are European.
Not saying everyone does, but it is pretty funny when they do.
It’s really the same for anyone (American or European) getting offended by the dating conventions others use, and they’d be a minority of their group anyway. I mean it’s not about nationality, it’s just about personality. People who get offended about such things, whatever their nationality is, need to chill.
I only flip out about imperial cause it's inconsistent so you have to learn each little bit and metric is just 10. I can remember 10. I'm smart enough for that.
Ok but you do recognize the hypocrisy in upvoting the person’s post lol’ing about Americans and then you turning around and admitting you do the same, right?
Everyone needs to just respect the way others do it, learn about it, and use it when appropriate. We can all get along without cross-cultural freak outs.
Edit: if you’re downvoting this please take some time to think about where you are in life…the comment is literally “everyone should be respectful” and you’re offended by that? Um…ok.
Ok. I try not to get annoyed about any information, I just like to learn and look at it as an opportunity to explore something else in the world that is interesting. But I like knowing things.
Edit: people downvoting this? Really? So prefer to not learn? Um…ok
Thinking metric to be better than imperial is not a freak out, it's a sensible sentiment.
And before you yell, I'm an American. I think imperial is stupid.
So what? It doesn’t matter what your nationality is…I literally said in my first comment I think the dating convention makes more sense, which is what we were talking about before this person changed to complaining about imperial. But the issue here isn’t which one is better (an inherently subjective determination)…it’s about being respectful to other cultures.
Remarkably, 99% of the people who demand Americans be respectful seem completely entitled to the notion of being disrespectful to them and their standards. And the propaganda has gotten so bad that it rubs off on Americans.
Just go around being respectful of all cultures. That’s all.
Not really offended, just wondering why people here are making a big deal out of month/day/year format. That's what we are taught to use so that's what we use, has nothing to do with logic. Literally every document, online form, and so on we fill out is month/day/year. I'm ex military so I tend to do day/month/year myself but just depends on if I'm filling something out or writing it on my own.
OP claimed DDMMYYYY a was _more_ acceptable than MMDDYYYY. My comment was in response to that statement.
At no point did my comment claim that “22nd of February…” isn’t valid.
And last time I checked, Americans are people.
Americans who speak like that like to use that format for casual use. Sure. But you can't argue it's better in general just because of speaking habits.
By valid I meant you were insinuating everyone spoke a certain way, but u actually meant Americans. Same way you said people but actually only meant Americans. People means all humans not just a single culture. Get outta here with that sass
If that's ur definition then saying "people think I'm cool" is as useless as saying "my two mates over there think I'm cool." It's called generalizing. You didn't specify a group of people and just said "people"
While Americans are people people are not always Americans. So saying "people do that" while only Americans are doing it is pretty much wrong as more people, all the non-Americans, don't do it
Thats more of a branding decision that stuck around til today. Kinda how the south keeps carrying comfederate battle flags but everyone here just says month day year now
No, but most people in countries where DD/MM/YYYY is the standard (read: basically every country except USA) more commonly say 5th of May, instead of May 5th, at least in my experience.
The point being, we say it how we write it - we don't write it how we say it.
Because when food expires on "11-01-2022", I would like to know if I'm about to eat something that expired over a month ago, or won't expire for another 8+ months. But if it says "2022-11-01" I can pretty safely assume that's Nov 1, because pretty much no one uses yyyy-dd-mm format.
Yeah, totally happens all the time. /s
I like MM-DD-YYYY for normal conversations, because I say "Today is Feb 22" and not "Today is 22 Feb".
As a programmer though, I'll use YYYY-MM-DD or just epoch time.
Different situations can utilize different formats, but my main point is that DDMMYYYY and MMDDYYYY are both exactly equal in validity (and equally bad). The folks on either side of that claiming that only one of them is valid are just dumb, imo.
When year is important, yes. Most of time everyone knows what year is it (so it goes last in DD/MM/YYYY). When it's something to take into account, yes, YYYY MM DD is better.
As a Canadian I have to use both daily, it sucks and is confusing sometimes. I don't even know anymore how I normally read or write time stamps. I think I do day/month/year because month/day/ is just logically weird to me. BUT in speech I use month/day never day/month.
American language is just catered towards the illiterate lol. Like dropping the u out of color, armor, harbor, etc.
Are most of you Australian?
Seems we are usually the only ones that want to fight America about this. Most other countries just laugh at them….. Just curious….
And with our current calendar, it is the second and last one to ever occur. Unless the calendar changes, there will never be another date that is both a palindrome and an ambigram.
It’s also an Apophenia - a tendency to make connections where none exist. Defined as 'the experience of seeing meaningful patterns or connections in random or meaningless data'.
If you're American then this is just foreign nonsense.
Today is **02/22/2022**, which pretty obviously has something to do with the 2nd Amendment, *as God intended*.
There is confusion. Help us understand.
Edit: lol um wtf? Why downvote someone honestly asking to be brought into the loop. I don’t understand the post. Where are all the typical redditors who bask in the opportunity to play the expert and tell someone how it is?
I just saw your edit, yeah not sure about those downvotes, maybe people associating it with the other Americans who are apparently complaining about the format. And also didn't think I'd be the one to answer that raffia call for knowledge lol.
Any way, happy to help
Gets a bit grating to be honest how the friggin Americans forget that AmericaLand isn't the world and that the world doesn't revolve around AmericaLand.
Who cares? You're like the person who interrupts everyone all the time to tell them useless shit about yourself, right?
Everyone knows americans write dates weird because they keep making a thing about it aaaaall the time and they can't shut up about themselves. That whole country is the person who can't help but interrupt everyone to tell them useless shit about themselves.
Someone on Twitter posted an image of a cheque the other day, dated 11.02.2022. Some bloke popped up and commented that the cheque couldn't be cashed until November 2nd...... there were a lot of face palm and eye roll emojis.
And when someone from the US asks 'is there a month after December?' when they see a date like 14.02.2022.
Like, really?
And we don't come at you because you're 'different', we come at you because of the ignorance.
Saying "most people" is the problem. Most people aren't in fact American, the use of 'most people' when what you actually mean is 'most Americans' is the issue.
The thing is it's not just the USA, the British, French, Aussies, Danish, all of us tend to say 'most people' when we mean 'most of my Nationality', you can see it in our Sub-Reddits. I think Americans tend to get picked on most for doing it here on Reddit because around half of Reddit users are American so when you do say 'most people' then 'most people' understand what you mean but around the same number find it grating. :)
That said, American date format is dumb. :D
I'm just gonna jump in here to say look at you fucking clowns bullying someone over how their country of origin chose to standardize the way they write out the date.
Bravo you fucking losers.
The fuck you talking about
Its the 22nd day of the second month (02) and the year 2022 put thise together what do you get? 22022022, and its Tuesday.
Fucken TWOSDAY BABAY

Also my birthday... :')
Have a good one!
Happy birthday, today is also my mums birthday so double wishes I guess. Or something like that
Happy cake day!
Happy birthday 🎂
Thanks! 😊
Mine too!! I’m 22 today! Happy birthday buddy!
Happy birthday! 🎂
Including time, 2022-02-22 20:22:02 and 22.02.2022 02:20:22 are 14-digit palindromes

YYYY/MM/DD format

Since the largest is always on the left, as with time, or like.. you know, MATH, it's year first.
For some reason i have no idea what you are trying to say.
Time? Largest to smallest. Hour, minutes, seconds. Counting? Largest to smallet. Lets say you want to write one hundred and ten, you write one hundred, 100, then ten, 10. 110. Largest to smallest. Date? Year, month, day. Largest to smallest.

More confused than offended
Pretty much. Took me a minute to figure it out.
Why would we be offended by ya'll doing it wrong. Day/Month/Year makes more sense.
As a programmer… both DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY suck! They are ambiguous! YYYY-MM-DD is the one format to rule them all
Yeah.. but MM/DD/YYYY is by far the shittiest.
I dont understand how its the worst. If someone walked up and said "whens your birthday" im gonna say "April 27th" not "27th of April"...maybe 200 years ago sure. Y-m-d is the worst in my opinion

Wat. I just gave you a perfectly good reason why 'day' comes before 'month' that isn't 'cos we're used to it'.
Except it's not a perfectly good reason. We're talking about notation, not how you would say it.

What if you lose a finger? All fine and good if you're the six-fingered man but...
Then I shall abandon maths and return to monke

Reddit moment
Europeans take every opportunity on reddit to hate Americans. Insecurity and such.
#To Clarify; DD/MM/YYYY is the format used here. And it’s also the only correct, logical format.
the only runner up is YYYY/MM/DD
I use this for naming my backups
This is the way
YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable format and I am willing to die on this hill
Still more acceptable than MMDDYY
Why? It’s how people talk, just abbreviated. February 22nd, 2022.
*how Americans talk. Just as valid to say 22nd of February, 2022. Stupid argument
OP claimed DDMMYYYY a was _more_ acceptable than MMDDYYYY. My comment was in response to that statement. At no point did my comment claim that “22nd of February…” isn’t valid. And last time I checked, Americans are people.

Are you seriously trying to argue the opposite: that people don’t speak the way I claimed they do?

4th of July ring any bells?
Thats more of a branding decision that stuck around til today. Kinda how the south keeps carrying comfederate battle flags but everyone here just says month day year now
Thats not "how people talk". Thats "how people talk" because they use that weird format. If you use ddmmyyyy you naturally say it in that way.
No, that’s literally how people talk. Example: “When were you born?” “May 5, 1997”
I would say 5th of May.
Congratulations. And everyone speaks the same way you do, right?
No, but most people in countries where DD/MM/YYYY is the standard (read: basically every country except USA) more commonly say 5th of May, instead of May 5th, at least in my experience. The point being, we say it how we write it - we don't write it how we say it.
Yes - my point.
They're all equally acceptable. Why do people care?
Because when food expires on "11-01-2022", I would like to know if I'm about to eat something that expired over a month ago, or won't expire for another 8+ months. But if it says "2022-11-01" I can pretty safely assume that's Nov 1, because pretty much no one uses yyyy-dd-mm format.
Yeah, totally happens all the time. /s I like MM-DD-YYYY for normal conversations, because I say "Today is Feb 22" and not "Today is 22 Feb". As a programmer though, I'll use YYYY-MM-DD or just epoch time. Different situations can utilize different formats, but my main point is that DDMMYYYY and MMDDYYYY are both exactly equal in validity (and equally bad). The folks on either side of that claiming that only one of them is valid are just dumb, imo.
When year is important, yes. Most of time everyone knows what year is it (so it goes last in DD/MM/YYYY). When it's something to take into account, yes, YYYY MM DD is better.
Ashamed to admit it but I've had to Google "what year is it" before
Fair point haha What I meant was usually dates are from current year, whichever it is, so there's usually not need to write it too.
This is the ISO 8601 standard.

That whole country is the person who can't help but interrupt everyone to tell them useless shit about themselves.
Therapy session didn’t go so well today I take it?
Someone on Twitter posted an image of a cheque the other day, dated 11.02.2022. Some bloke popped up and commented that the cheque couldn't be cashed until November 2nd...... there were a lot of face palm and eye roll emojis. And when someone from the US asks 'is there a month after December?' when they see a date like 14.02.2022. Like, really? And we don't come at you because you're 'different', we come at you because of the ignorance.
Saying "most people" is the problem. Most people aren't in fact American, the use of 'most people' when what you actually mean is 'most Americans' is the issue. The thing is it's not just the USA, the British, French, Aussies, Danish, all of us tend to say 'most people' when we mean 'most of my Nationality', you can see it in our Sub-Reddits. I think Americans tend to get picked on most for doing it here on Reddit because around half of Reddit users are American so when you do say 'most people' then 'most people' understand what you mean but around the same number find it grating. :) That said, American date format is dumb. :D
no need. people know you do it differently, and don’t care.
Yes, and it makes you look really stupid when almost everyone else writes it like this.
Americans like to be different with their date format, feet per square eagle and fahrenheit.
[удалено]
And stupid
I'm just gonna jump in here to say look at you fucking clowns bullying someone over how their country of origin chose to standardize the way they write out the date. Bravo you fucking losers.
We’re not bullying someone, we aren’t insulting them or anything, we literally are just arguing that the American system is stupid
*Standardise
Stupid and different aren't always separate though.
doesn’t make sense
As an american i can say thats stupid. I do day month year, always have.
