I know, why don't we all agree to agree and use every single possible format within a shared spreadsheet
Oh god it's so true...
Hot take: 2025-Jan-27 is better than 2025-01-27 in monolingual contexts.

I often have to refrain myself from using ISO-8601 in regular emails. In a business context the MM/DD/YYYY is so much more prevalent that I don't want to stand out.
Filenames on a share drive though? ISO-8601 all the way idgaf
In one work report, I recorded the date as "1/13/25", "13/1/25" and "13JAN2025"
I have my preference, but please for the love of all that is fluffy in the universe, just stick to one format....
"13.1.25", not "13/1/25".
Maybe in programming or technical documentation, but no, when I check the date I want to know the day and the month, beyond that, it's all unnecessary information for everyday use, and we have it right in Europe.
