minus-squaresome_guy@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoBoth are wrong. The correct way to write the date is YYYY-MM-DD. This is the only way to sort dates linearly in a list. ISO 8601.
minus-squareraspberriesareyummy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoIt’s frustrating that people are so bad at dates that ISO8601 lives rent-free in my head because I constantly have to tell people ;)
minus-squarekameecoding@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 days agoHungarian is close enough YYYY.MM.DD
minus-squaretatann@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoI can be OK with that But not with having elected the Trump of EU
minus-squarekameecoding@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoBro, trump is learning from Orbán if anything Trump is the US Orbán, fuck both of them too
minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 days ago♥️ this is what I decide to use at work. Dots are superior than dashes in my opinion because they prevent line breaks

minus-squaretiredofsametab@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 days agoAnd, when the context of the year is understood, you can just drop it. At least Japanese does this (and I’m pretty sure Chinese does as well).
minus-squaremeliaesc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoYou shouldn’t do that, because if you’re writing it down it means you want to either refer to it later or have someone else refer to it later. The year changes and you’re searching for that receipt or email… why set yourself up for failure?
