      No because it’s the global format that typically uses periods.

      D.M.Y (normal)
      Y-M-D (superior)
      M/D/Y (mental illness)

      Mixing up the formats and denominators makes this mess even worse.

        you should also always specify YYYY-MM-DD because often M and D ignores leading zeros, YY means the 2 digit suffix, and Y… well, i don’t even know what that is but i’m sure it’s something less specific than YYYY

        if we’re going to be picky about being clear about things, let’s be truly clear about things
