Because he didn’t know about ISO8601. The only correct date format, especially in Canada.
"What. No it’s month first,” responded his girlfriend Christine. The couple subsequently got in a huge fight and broke up, meaning their relationship only lasted from 10/01/2023-05/03/2024, with neither knowing if that is 6 months or over a year.
What a good line 😂
The Beaverton is great.

I mean, that’s the kind of ambiguity that makes exes hot, right?

I didn’t know it was called ISO8601 but I started naturally using it at work. It removes confusion among international colleagues, makes it way easier to sort data, and is also good for version control of docs.
Me too. It looks quite normal now and, yes, is great for file organisation.
I.e. 2024-10-13
Wait, is that the thirteenth of October, or Smarch 10th?
Oh, lousy Smarch weather!
ISO-8601 is the only true time format. Big-endian all the way, baby!
I also only use data formats that can be alphabetized.
Unironically a major consideration for me if I was scheduling a C-section.
My favourite is when you’re reading documentation for an API or an SDK or whatever and the examples show things like “2024-05-05” as the date where they’re both the same number and you can’t discern it at all. Like, use Halloween or Christmas or something as the date so it’s always obvious, eh?
07/05/09
9th of July 2005?
The rest of the world’s date system is most certainly not DD-MM-YYYY.
Care to elaborate? In my part of the world it absolutely is, with only some confusion sometimes caused by American dates
Large parts of asia (and prob some elsewhere) use YYYY/MM/DD
