I see, that's understandable. We all have pet-peeves. Mine is the date format in the US that has spread month-day-year. Most of Europe is day-month-year and it's very confusing when people start adopting US formats because they watch so much stuff from the US.

IMO any date standard other than ISO 8601 is wrong too. Year-Month-Date makes the most sense from a chronological standpoint. Also makes sorting files by date easier.

It's only useful for storing data, in the real world you want to know the day and sometimes the month, is very rae to want to know the year

Something tells me that ISO was created to make programming easier. Time/date stuff on computers are a menace in general.

RFC3339 is also acceptable
