Oh, for sure but I wasn’t really considering verbal exchanges as part of it (as very few people say the entire date in conversation. Like, in discussing getting coffee, neither person’s expecting “2024, November 3rd” or “3 November, 2024”).
Definitely; like, anything archival is just going to have ISO-8601 make the most sense which is why I’ll freely admit, if we’re choosing a single format for written date, I do think ISO-8601 easily wins out.
But, if I’m dealing with students’ paperwork for the year, I’m probably going to care about the month first. I’d it’s, say, a landlord’s check, day of the month could be used but so could the month, in terms of importance. Looking up an old text? Possibly I might care about the day first but, usually, I’m looking for something old since it’s not fresh in my memory so I’m probably going to care about the month of the text first and the day after. That was my reasoning.
But I still think ISO-8601 wins out – overall –, for sure. I should probably just try to incorporate it into my own life more, by now.
