reasons to use EDTF - open standard. 8601 is behind a paywall, which is why most people learn about it from vendor docs, not the standard itself. #ISO8601 #DateFormat #OpenStreetMap #OpenHistoricalMap

And next, when you write a date, what do you usually use? #dateFormat #date #poll

Two polls, please answer both. One for your preference, one is for what you actually use. #dateFormat #date #poll

First up, your PREFERENCE. What you think makes most sense and really should be used

I realised today why the Month-Day #dateFormat irritates me more than other differences such as metric/customary or temperatures. We usually get a signal when measurements are used (cm, in, C, F) & usually we can work it out from context even if there’s no explicit signal, e.g. “It’s 60 degrees here today” obviously excludes Celsius.
But if the day part of the date is 12 or less, there is no clue and we have to know the author’s background: 1-2-23 or 2-1-23?
Only 2023-02-01 is unambiguous.

M/D/Y date formating makes perfect sense for societies where knowing the season is more important than knowing the year.

Hey, let's just appreciate that today's date consists of only `0`s and `2`s and on top of that it reads the same in any format, i.e. `02.02.2022` and `02/02/2022`.

It's just a good day to read your date and don't make a mistake;)

It makes me really sad

The only correct answer is October the 11th. There is no doubt that the recent trend in the media to put day before month separate by the slash did the job confusing a lot of people.
If you really want to put day first and month after that, use the dot.
So, the correct format for November the 10th can be "11/10" or "10.11".
When in doubt use ISO style: "2021-11-10". Anyway, is a good idea to always specify the year.

#dateformat #dates

Simple question: what date is this?

10/11

#dates #time #dateformat

P.S.: the right answer will be revealed when the poll ends.
