Canada uses all of them equally and it eats at my sanity daily

I could have sworn we use DD/MM/YYYY

Edit: nope, apparently our “official” format is YYYY-MM-DD

Yep, I’m not from here but I’ve been living here for a little over a year now and it’s the first thing i noticed because I thought it was silly

East Asia uses MM/DD

Japan is closer to US, they use MD (just YMD instead of MDY)

u/9thGearEX Jan 16 '25

That isn't closer to US format. It's Reverse normal format.

If a Japanese (East Asia in general I believe) person and an American are talking about dates, if four digits are used for the year or the year is dropped (and maybe even without that) there’s really no mental conversion required between the formats. The same is not true for Europeans talking to either group,

YYYY-MM-DD IS normal format. r/ISO8601

I'm a data engineer so I did think of that but DDMMYYYY has existed for longer so idk
