    This is literally the most logical method to name a date in text.

    In what text?

    In French we say “14 juillet 1789”

    We don’t even say “nth day of”

    In a text like "the research started at 2003-01-24", or pretty much in any other text where you need to convey all 3 elements.

    I bet you also don't say "14 07 1789", because that's what MM format means.

    You bet wrong

    We write AND say “La Révolution a démarré le 14/07/1789” or “La Révolution à démarré le 14 juillet 1789”

    Spoken numbered month are usually used in an administrative context, to ease the work of our contact.

    Oh that's right, the spoken administrative context. Same in my dd-mm-yyyy county actually. Still, I find it less intuitive than the logical yyyy-mm-dd when understanding written text.

    We do that in Sweden as well. Our social security numbers are that plus 4 unique numbers. The beers I send out to stores have yyyy-mm-dd printed at the bottom.

    So no more than 10 thousands of Swedes may get an SSN at the same day (or be born at the same day even 🤔)?

    It's very easy to sort by this format, makes perfect sense.
