I woke up and nobody broke the code yet? No store releasing it too early?
Guess it must be a software update than.
Not everyone in the UK is English!
The American format is month-day-year, with a comma between day and year. In British style, which is day-month-year, no comma is needed between month and year, The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day…so basilcay do whatever you like!
I just blame it on the metric system

What troubles me is why the 1989 Tom Cruise movie “Born on the fourth of July” does not adhere to the US date format, surely they should have called it “Born on July fourth”. But on the other hand we would not have Star Wars day without the US date format, so I guess we should at least be grateful for that.

Wait. I think there is also a Muslim calendar and a Chinese one, at least.
Novation please, another bone.
The real question is why Americans don’t format their times as mm:ss:hh
If you’re going to be weird be consistent with it

Just keep walking in a straight line and don’t take any turns in the dark.

I think they’d be very comfortable that way.

We would never use millimeters as a unit of time. Makes too much sense.

Knee-jerk nerdary: Filesystems usually provide created_on and modified_on datestamps. You shouldn’t need to add dates to file names. Also, a suffix wont help, you’d need a prefix

There is, if you’re the sort who says “June 12, 1948”. But it only makes sense when the month is expanded to letters, not contracted to numbers. It’s shit. I’m not trying to defend it.
