Sure but I don’t think this ever caused an issue to anyone else…

The world could also agree to adopt the format used by most, which is YYYY/MM/DD; or the second most used one (DD/MM/YYYY) so that I won’t ever have to look at the american version ever again!

I believe it is YYYY-MM-DD actually.

I am not willing, not willing to biologically compute the distinction you imagine between ‘/‘ and ‘-‘ in this context…

Many countries use the dd/mm/yyyy format tho? Germany, Uk, Spain…
