I just don't like to be forced to include the damn year everytime, and if you cut the year from ISO 8601 you get the american MM-DD order, which everybody hates.

I like DD/MM/YYYY. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Working for a global clinical research company, DD-Mmm-YYYY is the easiest for everyone to understand and be on the same page. It's bad enough identifying which date you're capturing in metadata without also trying to juggle multiple date formats.

...nah man, 27 february 2013 (or 2013 february 27 if you want to append 24.00 time) leave no room for ambiguity...

No hablo inglés y no sé cuál es "february". How about that? Only Arabic numbes survive internationally.

I'm working in an international company with colleagues around the world. To avoid confusion, I switched to using this format:

27-FEB-2013

This format can fuck off. I prefer the unambiguous format 2FEB2013.

Checkmate, date snobs.

And yes, nations are free to use their appropriate abbreviations for the months.
