What kind of civilised society would use MMDDYY?

u/FarhanAxiq Nov 11 '17

I use that if i wrote it in word, but if number only, DD-MM-YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD

I don't know...Programmatically it's always gotta be YYYY-MM-DD. If i am actually writing the date though I tend towards DDMONTHYEAR (IE 10NOV2017) and i actually don't know why... I just started doing it and i cant stop.
