PSA: Date Formats

9,180 LT556  8.7 years ago

ISO 8601 standard format (YYYY-MM-DD) is the officially standardized international date format. Use this to clear up confusion. You can use different punctuation, but that is discouraged. This is to be used for all dates given. No other format is officially accepted. (hint, hint.)

    It's easier for people who have used it all their lives. I prefer to use one that people understand, however. @General360

    More recent readings from non-us weather stations show that a category no no-icane is coming in from no. Currently the air has developed into a no system, expected to draw in the no-icane. Heavy no cover predicted.@amazingperson124

    @Sirstupid The yes-ometer reads yes inches of yes-cury, or yes yes-cals. A tropical yes has also been detected in the yes sea, and may become a yessicane soon.

    @amazingperson124 that doesn't solve the first point, and also just confuses the many Americans we have on here every bit as much as the American format confuses most of the rest of us

    Expect heavy gusts of up to no km per hour from no, with a 100% chance of no. Heavy no forecasted between the hours of 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 GMT. Heavy no cover forecasted. @amazingperson124
