1-26 or 01/26 is a way of writing the month and day. in this particular example, it is describing the 26th day of January, or January 26. the year is omitted in this instance because, in this context, it is a way of demonstrating how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance without fully adhering to ISO 8601 guidelines.

So it's just adding the American format (which categorically does not demonstrate how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance, but literally the opposite) in to the mix and not providing any help or making things any simpler lol

Thanks for explaining, but if the person who introduced the 1-26 concept in to the conversation (and could have easily just said "MM/DD" to make their point significantly clearer), or the other person with their lecture are actually trying to change my, or anyone else's mind, or make their personal preference more appealing to others, this (making things more complicated, when they are already perfectly straightforward, just not how they like it) isn't the fucking way to do it lmmfao
