This is the only rational order, descending in order of magnitude.

How do you abbreviate a date in YYYY/MM/DD format?

In the DD/MM/YYYY format I can tell someone I am available to meet on 26/07; the year is known contextually as it only changes once a year.

If I start to tell people I am available 26/07 am I available for all of July in 2026?

07-26, surely?

YY/MM/DD or casual short MM/DD (where the year is understood). It’s no different, you just skip the year if it’s a given 😄 But for archival purposes, file naming etc, the YYYY part is mandatory.

Wait really? Your first example is also ambiguous for 12 years out of every 100

Nope, it’s 30 \ 24 / 08

way to long just short it down: 3248

clearly the best way to show date

…

This should be obvious, but just in case people take this seriously. It’ a joke
