Ahhh, yes. LOL... Well, in the same spirit - Happy belated American Baud Day to all! Even those who write their dates wrong! ;-)

Day-first date formats make about as much sense to me as minute-first time formats.

Never really thought of it like that. I personally prefer either: YYYY-MM-DD or Mon-DD-YYYY (e.g. Dec 7 2024) - all unambiguous.

I don't think the rest of the world knows that americans are flexable.
We use 'standard' and metric forms of measurement. we just have a causal method and a more professional or whatever method.

I'm in my late 40s and we were taught the metric system in school. People in other countries don't really understand that; they think we are backwards and behind.

I use fahrenheit personally in a causal setting and have no problem using celcius at work.

A lot of americans understand both.

in regards to date formats i use both but use american style for causal use and the other way for naming my backups.

I guess we are all wrong, though, because yyyy-mm-dd is the real winner :)

I agree... and as a filename, it sorts properly.

I like to sort. Give me YYYYMMDD any time.

Why would this be considered "European"? Those baud rates were used
everywhere as far as I know.

American Baud Day would be March 12th. Get it?

I'm such a dumbass :-) took me way too long..

In the 1980's where I worked began getting daily reports dated YYYYMMDD.
We used to talk on the phone to another place saying all of the (partial) report plus our data; but now could enter our data to a server, and a hour later get the complete report from the server.
I overheard a Ham radio operator say his workplace was trying to figure a way to sort Daily Records so I told him about my work using YYYYMMDD and he said that would be of help.

As others here do, I use that Date Format for computer files.
In public I write the Military Style DD 3 letter abbrv. for the Month YYYY.
I know it looks weird to other folks who aren't acquainted with Military Style Dates.
Today is: 09Dec2024.

I was fooled too by the European Style that uses Slash Marks or Dashes as separators in the date until I read other comments in this thread.
But I finally caught on.
