better than the absolutely deranged MM/DD/YYYY and imo the best when it comes to international communication
I've been told " You don't say 6th June, do you?" too many times
In the U.K. we do all the same. Sixth of June.
In the US it's about 50/50 sixth of June and June sixth.
The amusing thing is that in Swedish you definitely do. Or actually "6:e juni".
Germany too
Even Americans does as well: "4th of July".
How the fuck does second largest to smallest to largest make any kind of sense?
