@del @lmgenealogy Written dates though.... I'm less inclined to exclude year and will pretty much only do "5th May, 2023" or "2023-05-05" as the only unambiguous options. 3 comments
@lmgenealogy @del Right. That's what I mean. X/Y/Z is meaningless unless we're lucky to be talking about a date after the 12th of the month. @saramg @lmgenealogy Can I be so bold as to ask you to try and include days of the week too? People typically know their own daily or even weekly routine reasonably well but may not immediately know what day of the week an arbitrary numerical date in the future falls on. By including day of the week you provide context around the date that helps people orientate themselves and understand how the event might fit in with their life, routine and availability. 😌 |

@saramg @del I would write "5 May 2023", but have used the year-month-day on documents. The problem for me is that I currently live in the US, so I'm always confused: If someone writes 12/5, I see 12 May, when the person who wrote the date meant 5th of December.
