What China (and Japan) uses is YYYY年MM月DD日, which IMO is the superior date format since it's self-explanatory - the sections are spelled out right there!
Jumbling together year, month and day and having to separate them by counting digits is not an improvement for human readability. (And you have the year wrong.) Any of “27 July 2026”, “July 27, 2026” or “2026-07-27” would be superior.
It's good because it's an actual standard instead of 7/27 which is backwards for half the world. Besides, I'm actually from the future and they delayed the model a year, learning from Anthropic that good models are actually about to bring the end of society.
Don't even have to go that far, outside of white-collar jobs and some groups weirdly obsessed with scheduling, most people don't use calendars at all, but their manager/boss/significant-other does that for them :)
Not really. Spain's traditional format is dd/mm/yyyy with slashes. This applies for a good chunk of Europe. Germany/Austria uses dot, I think nordic countries embraced the dash. While you might see more adoption in offical/digital contexts, I just double checked a few popular spanish websites, all slashes.
China uses YYYY/MM/DD, which is logical.

the only logical format.
signed: a hungarian :)
For me, the only format that doesn't make sense is the MM/DD/YYYY, together with its rarely seen worse sibling, MM/DD/YY (07/27/26).
Let's just go with YM/DY/MD (27/26/07)
But only for Americans, and make them weirdly dogmatic about it.
Agreed. It's objectively mixing the order (medium/small/large)
You can sort dates and they are in order with this format.
lpszReleaseDate ;-)
LoL
You mean a Big Endian.
20270727 if we're improving dates :)

ISO 8601 ftw
270727 if we want to save tokens :)
Y2K100 bug for you, then ;)
Looks like another LeetCode problem about checking for anagrams.
or 27/7 for the rest of the world
Most life forms don’t use any calendar actually.

No, 27-7 for the rest of the world.
The separator is often the only way to distinguish American notation from ISO, so please use a dash for dd-mm-yy and a forward slash for mm/dd/yy
Have never seen 27-7, as someone in rest-of-world
In my time it was “27/VII 1986” in Russia.
This is so confidently wrong it's funny. In Australia dd/mm/yy is the default.
I've never seen dd-mm-yy. It's usually dd.mm.yy, dd.mm.yyyy, or yyyy-mm-dd, with some dd/mm/yy sprinkled in for general confusion.
Or 27.7. in some other places.
Nope,
There are quite some countries around the world using d/m/y

Algeria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile...

27–7 would be 20.
You mean 27.7
Or 11/Shrawan 2083 if you're in Nepal
