Christ, do this many people really find iso8601 hard to read? It’s the date and the time with a T in the middle.
Not "many people." Americans. Americans find it hard to read. I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain everyone else in the world agrees that either day/month/year or year/month/day is the best way to clearly indicate a date. You know, because big to small. America believes month/day/year for some stupid fucking reason.
Because who cares what day it is without knowing the month first.
Of course, don't you forget the current month all the time? I know I do!
I actually do, and I know I'm not alone.
Who cares what month it is without knowing the year first
