It's like the joke that Europeans don't understand why Americans mourn November 9th.

I prefer the Day-Month-Year format. It just makes sense.

I got used to YYYYMMDD many years ago when I wrote software that generated file names with the dates at the beginning. The files would automatically sort by date year over year regardless if your OS file display sorted them by name or by date if you used YYYYMMDD

There is no April 31. April has 30 days.

That’s where I learned it.
I also like to mess with people and I use Zulu time.

That presents an issue...

Ha! Those quotation marks around the word logic in the American column!! Kinda disparages the good old USA. Just a tiny little dig. A mere drop in the ocean. Cleverizes the author, too.

except it’s not how we speak. We say June 6, 1944, not 6 June 1944

My birthday is on February 30. Really!

I prefer Japaneses (And Canadian?) logic

Best and only way when you want to save scanned documents chronologically by date.

True, but I also prefer the S.I. system of measurements so I might be a bad example.

That’s the joke….

We say June 6, 1944, not 6 June 1944

So 6/6/1944 instead of 6/6/1944?
