Which drives me nuts! The month doesn’t change for 4 whole weeks! Why is it first? I want the info that contains the most variation displayed first so my eyes don’t have to glaze past useless info every time.
Year/month/day is superior when reading full dates, because it’s the least ambiguous. If I only need day and month, I’d rather use month’s full or shortened name (like 27 Sep). Ambiguity is the real enemy here, not any particular order

Different date format: day / month / year; as opposed to the US standard: month / day / year.

ISO 8601 gang unite!
RFC-3339 gang gang
I scanned through this and my takeaway is that it’s just defining a formal grammar for iso 8601. Did I miss anything important?
Kind of. As I understand it, ISO-8601 is also super broad and allows for a bunch of different potential formats and I think durations.
For instance,
2009-W01-1is a valid ISO-8601 date, meaning2008-12-31(!) which is pretty weird.It must be tiring at work waiting for the clock to finally strike 00:5pm.
See? Now I dont have to skip the hour when looking for the minutes that constantly change.
Or, as millions of people have done, you could learn to read from right to left.
Now that is what I call optimization.
I- I can’t understand. Can you please explain it in pounds, pints, and miles?
I once saw my buddy Miles pound down 27 pints!
I’m gonna need it in stone, pecks, and hands.
Other folks say The 5th of November instead of November 5th
There’s no reason the written sequence needs to follow the verbal sequence.
Obviously, because you’re not even writing 11th/5th/2023
