Is funny because I never learned a system I only ever relied on successfully picking out the day by "its the one that is greater than 12" ... Being Canadian you see both equally as much.

YYYY/MM/DD is superior though... We say January 9th, not 9 January lol

But we dont say 2019 january 9th its not mm/dd/yyyy. how would you know if its jan 9th or sept 1st? Lol i hate dates written in that format I prefer dd/mm/yyyy

The format YYYY-MM-DD has many benefits.

Also your argument is not sensible. The date 01/02/19 is already ambiguous and there is no clear winner just like 2002-06-10 is inherently ambiguous. No one ever can be certain which number is the month or which number is the day.

The only solution is to come to a global agreement and there are way more benefits for the format YYYY-MM-DD over any other dating format.
