  What’s the 22nd month of the year?

    Despite living in the US my whole life, I don’t subscribe to the insane mm/dd/yy ordering, it’s the most ass backwards shit. That’s why I wrote 22 July. Not sure how you got 22nd month out of that when it’s unambiguous.

      Hello! I don’t intend to convince anyone one way is better than another, but I wanted to share why I like the mm/dd/yy format.

      Simple reason, the number of possible integers increases as you go left to right.

      That’s all, got it out of my system. Thank you for reading.

        That is pretty nice but it does not justify the inconvenience. Glad to have heard it :)

      It was a joke.

      That part was unambiguous, and it was clearly a joke; however, the very next line you write “22/7”. While you meant division, you accidentally wrote common date separator format, which WAS ambiguous.

      You could have written 22 ➗ 7 to get the effect you were aiming for ;).

        I write all my dates in military format i.e. dd MMM yyyy, so 16 MAR 2025 for today. Zero ambiguity.
