We write it how you'd say it. Outside of holidays or days of remembrance we write it how you say it.
For example today is 4/13/25. April 13th 2025. If you say the 13th of April you're fuckin weird.

What do you think of DD/HH/YYYY/Min/MM/Sec?
Could be improved by swapping hours and minutes. They are more important after all.
Also that way the time isn't in order anymore.
People mentioning ISOs are such forks and it's adorable
Don't mock them.
One day you will meet one in person and he'll beat you up if he's 7 foot, 3/5 thumbs and 2 elbows tall.
Don't you mean Eramicans?
I'm an American and do day/month/year.
I thought this was how it was done everywhere?
Where in the US? I've never seen anything online where a US entity uses DD/MM/YYYY, or do you mean the month is spelled out?
So the holiday that's coming up in a week... Is it 4/20, or 20/4?
4/20 blaze it.
You're Goddamn right.
Canada’s just like you have to guess
Why can't we just call it Independence Day, that's what it's actually called
Sorry, that's copyrighted.
Why is the format not:
2025/4/12
Biggest time frame to smallest time frame (year, month, then day)?
ISO Tanf rise up.
Also 2025/04/12
For written format that is ideal but when talking about a date, say in two weeks time, saying the year is redundant.
This is how I do it- my folders and files are super easy to find
Canada uses this
yyyy/mm/dd
In my computer engineering course this is literally how we were told to write the date on our lab reports.
As a computer scientist, I've been doing this everywhere for over 10 years already. Be the change you want to see in the world.
I worked for a company that did their dates multiple ways and it was fucking impossible to know what date was what. It was super frustrating. I'd prefer this, but if you don't, at least keep it consistent once you start.
If a date starts with the year, everyone will know the thing after it is the month. I've never ever seen YYYY/DD/MM. That, to me, seems like it wouldn't add additional confusion at least.
my guess is order of relevance.
2025/4/12
Don't forget leading zeroes, we're not half assing this!
02025/04/012
Issues with unix paths. I prefer 2025-04-12.
2009, got it
This is the way.
ISO8601 FTW!
