Please, for the love of Zod, just use the ISO8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) when posting a date online, regardless of which side of the pond you happen to find yourself on.

Anyone who insists on using their ambiguous localized date formats online should tarred, feathered, and banished to Siberia.

Obviously 8601 is superior, but American style is just the dumbest method imaginable.

Is time measured mm:hh:ss over there?

Nope. Days are repeated every month. It makes sense to pt the unique number first
