Use an unambiguous date format

Open ThatRandomToast opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

The date format that is being used is MM/DD/YYYY format which is primarily used in the United States.

However, MM/DD/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY are both ambiguous if the day is 12 or less because 01/02/2021 could be January 2, 2021 in the US or 1 February 2021 in most of the world.

Please switch to ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) to remove ambiguity.

Advantages of ISO 8601: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html
