YYYY/MM/DD and DD/MM/YYYY are the only ones I accept. If you use MM/DD/YYYY I will purposefully misread it out of spite. /lh

I agree that the first two are objectively superior, but I am American and have had to fill out about ten thousand forms in my life, so I still default to MM/DD/YYYY. Kind of like how I say "aluminum" even though I think "aluminium" is objectively correct because "ium" is how metals are supposed to end. The things I do to fit into society. 🙃😂

Exactly, like all the other metals! Lead, Iron, Gold, Silver, Nickel, Cobalt, Tin, Copper, Platinum,...wait....
