Saw this on one support website. If you have to write your date format after your date, you’ve failed.

Use the unambiguous ISO format (2022-08-15) or spell out the month (Aug 15 2022 or 15 Aug 2022)

Oh, and by the way, this screenshot is from when a website team confirmed they started working on my account deletion.

It’s been five days, and they’re still on it. Might be a very complicated SQL query…

@kytta I never understood why the day is after the month. Maybe it caters well to the English pronunciation, August 15th 2022, but at that point just write it like that in the first place.

@dusnm the thing is, that the British people say ‘15th [of] August’, so the MM/DD format caters not to the English, but explicitly to the American English pronunciation, which IMO is even more unfair.

But: the American Independence Day is the only date they pronounce in a ‘normal’ way (Fourth of July) 🤪
