      As always, the east is a few hours ahead. For me, for example, it still takes about 4 hours. Happy New Year and lots of health, contentment, happiness and success :thumbsup:

        Not around here. And not according to ISO.

        Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

            How does that agree with English putting the adjective before the noun? Doesn't the month have to come before the year that it modifies?

              On this day, the thirty-first of December in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-three, I tell to you that the year is modifying the month. (Not that it matters anyway, no.)

                I am unfamiliar with that rule. Apparently, it doesn't apply to date vs. month. If you really think this is a general rule, you should start a movement to have IP addresses reorganized.

                    I've never understood why the US uses this odd order. It's like giving a measurement as 2 feet, 4 inches and 3 yards! It makes no sense.

                      I'm still waiting to see a car with the odometer set up to read (from left to right) as hundreds of miles, then tens of miles, then miles, and then followed by hundreds of thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, and finally thousands of miles. Replace with kms if you wish. You'd think on a site that is visited primarily by developers, who understand reading from most significant bit to least significant bit in progressive order - without bit significance flipping around in-between - would understand it makes much more sense to read/write dates in the same way. And it gets rid of all ambiguity.

                          Not everything in the world must adhere to binary computer standards.

                            It doesn't even have to adhere to order and logic. Anyway: Order and logic, systematic presentation of information is not limited to digital computers.

                              I count date information as belonging to the language side of things, and we all know there's nothing logical or consistent about human languages. As such, it is more a thing of the right side of the brain than the left. That's how I see it.

                                Correct, I was just using an example of something that obviously makes sense the way it is, without requiring much explanation. I had two examples in fact.
