DD/MM/YYYY is the best in my opinion
YYYY-MM-DD is better if you need to sort
If it weren't so ingrained, I would be permanently using YYYY-MM-DD instead of DD/MM/YYYY.
Works great for east Asia, and it sorts!
I'd also like to advocate for using 24 time in speech.
See you at 21 tomorrow :)
I agree with this because if you were to say the whole thing verbally, you generally start with the day, the month then the year.
"It is the 9th of August in the year of our Lord 2023."
We wouldn't in America in most cases. I'd say it's August 9th 2023. I honestly feel like this is such a dumb argument to have because it doesn't matter except for communication with people who use other methods. Now metric vs imperial makes way more sense to me because the metric system is just so much easier for mathematical conversions.
