    Can’t believe relevant xkcd hasn’t been posted.

      I was unaware of this. But it uses the same logic as the British date format so I am okay with it.

      Is this where someone posts the relevant xkcd about too many standards?

      That standard can go fuck itself

      The correct standard is dd/mm/yyyy

        Why would you have minutes inbetween there and not months?

            He’s making a pedantic joke. Lower case m is sometimes used to indicate minutes.

            Albeit a weak one since many formats use lowercase m to indicate month. Such as programming languages like python & PHP. IBM & Microsoft standards also use lowercase m and so forth.

              I did think he might be making a joke but since as you said it would be a weak one I gave him the benifit of the doubt

              Yeah it’s a bit mixed bag. Powershell command get-date expects mm for minutes and MM for months, which has messed up my scripts logging few times lol
