Hail to Our Glorious Datetime Leader!

I find it sad that people can (righteously) hate on Fahrenheit for not being an international standard and mostly only understood in the US but then in their next beat try to argue for their local ddmmyy or otherwise nonsense numeric date formatting (eg mmddyy) not realizing they are using a date format equivalent. If you want to use local formatting, write the months with a full year, or use the standard. 010203 is nonsense; Jan. 2 2003 and 2 Jan. 2003 are clear, 2003-01-02 is best.

@Neblib I am big fan of MMMDD-YYYY or YYYYMMDD seperators optional

Adding to my bio as it is the only way to use dates without any ambiguity. yyyy-mm-dd. Simple. Makes sorting possible and reliable. Yoda style Ah, date is month day year should be made a global crime IMHO ;)

Symbioquine,

@jwildeboer Actually you should use RFC3339, it's like ISO8601 but just the necessary/good bits - and openly documented rather than behind a paywall.

@jwildeboer
I have one even better for you:

"""
Gregorian, year–day–month (YDM) This date format is used in Kazakhstan, Latvia, Nepal, and Turkmenistan.
""""

I think you wanted to argue that by putting YYYY in front is unambiguous?
