This.
I can handle DDMMYY[YY] it reads correctly. But YYYYMMDD is numerically correct, most signifcant to least significant digitwise.
That thing only American's do, is completely non-sensical.
It is sensical for one use:
"So when is the event?"
"May 20th, 2024"
It's such a niche use, though
I think that's because you're used to hearing dates said that way? Over here in DDMMYY-land, we often would say "20th of May, 2024" and that sounds equally sensical to me tbh
And in a lot of countries they just say 20 May, 2024. So no ordinal numbers for the day.
