Does it make more sense to go MM/DD/YYYY

or

DD/MM/YYYY?

Nope. I plan to get some good sleep. I can imagine if I did stay up though . . .

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]MM/DD/YYYY[/QUOTE]


How?

DD/MM/YYYY is ordered from smallest to largest. MM/DD/YYYY is completley illogical. YYYY/MM/DD is better than MM/DD/YYYY if you insist in putting the month before the day but when looking at a date, the year is often the least important part. (Usually when the year is the most important part, only the year is used anyway.) So DD/MM/YYYY is the most sensible format.

We Americans will take our April Fifth, thank you very much.

Someone brought this up at work today, and the first thing I though was 'who cares.' I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, but seriously, this isn't anything special.

And as for the format, I use year/month/day. I hate seeing something like 2/3/05 and guessing whether the month is February or March.

Fifth of April.

Because that's what I grew up with. This isn't something that's amazingly complex. It's not something like the metric system where our brains can process it more easily one way or the other. It's merely what society you grow up in.

That's funny, because I remember asking which system makes more sense, not which one is more familiar.

It makes sense BECAUSE it's familiar. Like I said, it's merely your settings, not which one your brain can process faster. Your brain learns to process it one way or another.

But, of course, extrapolation was never your strong suit.

2006-04-04, 6:30 PM #30
That's right. Mind-reading isn't my strong suit.

How about this, then.

Without any biases, such as familiarity, which system makes more sense?

Who cares. It's something your brain learns how to process, not that your brain is created processing one way or another. Unlike 10s versus working with halves.

This is how dates *should* be displayed:

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ

Anything else is just not as easy to parse.



In this context, the date in question appears as "2006-05-04T01:02:03Z". Not quite as pleasant. The real moment to look for is some 3 hours later: 03:02:01.
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

No it's not. The human brain processes 10s faster than it does 1/2, 1/4, 1/16, based on the number of numbers and the amount of math involved. Looking at a date is so quick and easy none of that matters. Seriously, I don't know what you think you're arguing.
