    DDMMYYYY and YYYYMMDD users can at least agree the other format is still intuitive

      Want some help? It’s intuitive to say month date year out loud. So that’s how we write it down too. Today is November 24th 2025 (11/24/25)

      Here’s another point about the US date system I quite enjoy, the number go in order of lowest maximum integer to greatest maximum integer. The highest the month can go is 12 which is smaller than 31 which is smaller than theoretically infinite. But that’s probably not why we do it. I just like that thought.

        Nope. In the UK we never say march 6 or something. Sounds wrong

        Its intuitive to people used to MM DD YY people and unintuitive to everyone else.

        Today is the 24th of November.

        We don’t do a lot of things right in America, but MMDDYYYY is one of them.

        Daylight Savings Time really sucks though.

        I’m neutral on the Metric System.

      I see then we are using YY YY DD format here. Seems bad.
