Besides, it goes both ways: I always have to be careful about reading dates in America because everyone else switched around. Why this way? Because in spoken (American)English we don't generally say "11 March", we say "March 11th".
2022-03-11, YYYY-MM-DD is the best for sorting dates numerically, like in filenames. That's the standard format archivists use internationally for consistency.
Funny thing is that I’ve always wanted to learn Russian and this Ukraine thing gave me the jolt I needed to finally do it. I was looking at the letters and thinking, what language is that? Those aren’t Cyrillic (because now I know what they are)... Doh!
you don't even need to mirror xD today is 11/3 for almost every country
FTFY
The Aussies will appreciate that.
Normal countries
Hours:minutes:seconds -> descending
Days:months:years -> ascending
America
Hours:minutes:seconds -> descending
Months:days:years -> ???
Why do you do this America?
The right way for the calender is ascending up the digits.
Then it should be; Seconds:Minutes:Hours:Days:Months:Years
Everyone is wrong!
THIS. Spoken by a true autist.

Imagine putting minutes before the hours, that's what it's like for us.
As a Brit watching American happenings this calender confuses me, not too much but mildly inconvenient.
It's ok if the days are higher than 12 but if not I have to try to think backwards for a minute and I'm a bit of a retard so it takes more effort lol
Like the metric system.
We are lazy. It's easier to say March eleventh two thousand-twenty two than, the eleventh day of March in the year two thousand-twenty two😆
That sounds efficient and smart to me, not lazy.
I see, we would just say that as eleventh of march this year
In the military, it’s day month year.

OK, OK, here's the real reason why---
Look at a wall calendar. What's the first thing you see?
That's right....
Don't care
I prefer Year Month Day e.g. 20220311. I find it more straight forward
Same reason we’re the only ones still using English measurements.
We say March 10th, not 10th of March
How do you speak the date
10th of march
Because we use fucked up units, like pounds and feet and yards. It makes us retarded. We inherited it from the Brits.
How the heck did you flip that text like that?
