For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
For me it’s YYYY-MM-DD https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html
Also, there is a special place for those people who keep making up new timestamps
Plus slashes are more likely to be blocked by arbitrary character set validation, and fail. Dashes more clearly distinguish the segments and are more compatible
Spacing of the letter and fewer clutter is also very good with dashes.
This is probably the best format and I would concede without question. Cheers!
I have (minor) beef with ISO 8601. It’s very wishy washy about fractional seconds. It’s like “eh, idc if you use a period or a comma to separate them”
I sign papers with customers from all over the world, and if I get to sign first and need to add a date, I invariably go for YYYY-MM-DD from ISO-8601. If they go first it’s most often illegible to readers without any cultural context.
I agree. Plus, if you are naming files in your computer, using YYYY-MM-DD will keep them ordered chronologically by default.
