    I’m glad you get to definite wrong for everyone else

    Also I got news for you

    There are a variety of formats that are thriving and in constant use all over the world that differ from what you consider correct

    (I’ve never encountered a date format nazi before, this is first contact for me.)

      I’ve never encountered a date format nazi before, this is first contact for me.

      I guess you haven’t had the pleasure of working with many database administrators then ;)

        Human readable: Either ddmmyyyy or yyyymmdd
        Computer: yyyymmddhhmmss only.

        Imo the only wrong thing to do is mmddyyyy
        That 's just cursed. Like imperial system.

          But how do you document which version of an hour it is when daylight savings time “falls back”? What about leap seconds? Also if there’s no time zone specified is it local? UTC? GMT? I could go on…

            I am not living in a country with multiple timezones
            I am not working in a multi-national company.

            Should I have to define timezones, I will say so (e.g. “Let’s meet at 13:00 (or 1pm) CEST”)

      It’s not the boon it seems to be.

      I’m aware. That’s why it’s annoying to be the one who determines right and wrong, nobody listens.
