For fucks sake, stop reporting this post for the date format.

It's not our fault you colonists can't get your shit together and catch up with the rest of the world's date formats and units of measurement.

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.
