        This is the only rational order, descending in order of magnitude.

          How do you abbreviate a date in YYYY/MM/DD format?

          In the DD/MM/YYYY format I can tell someone I am available to meet on 26/07; the year is known contextually as it only changes once a year.

          If I start to tell people I am available 26/07 am I available for all of July in 2026?

            YY/MM/DD or casual short MM/DD (where the year is understood). It’s no different, you just skip the year if it’s a given 😄 But for archival purposes, file naming etc, the YYYY part is mandatory.

            Wait really? Your first example is also ambiguous for 12 years out of every 100

          way to long just short it down: 3248

          clearly the best way to show date

          …

          This should be obvious, but just in case people take this seriously. It’ a joke
