Which should actually make it easier to learn to convert at a glance oddly enough.Don't wabba!

On a Global basis, Date Format Standards seem to vary drastically.
No one here (Austria, shown as YMD and DMY), absolutly no one, uses YYYY-MM-DD outside of putting the date in some database.
We don't talk YYYY-MM-DD, we don't write YYYY-MM-DD, we don't read YYYY-MM-DD.
The only times I have seen someone using YMD is when someone from IT (including myself) is trying to index some date or uses some database in the background using YMD.
And if we need to schedule some international date, we just write the month in name to be sure.
Year-Month-Day > all other date formats
You know what i really hate, when people say a date by using week numbers.That's a new one, I've never heard of anybody using week ##, ever.
I don't know if anyone else use it but the Swedish Armed Forces love it.
Instead of saying "training starts at Thursday the 17th of March"
They go "training starts on Thursday week 07"
Yeah, it's awfulThat seems like such a obtuse way of mentioning the exact day
In the same vein, they often do like'
"On the weekend of 413...."
4 meaning 2024, and week 13
The ISO 8601 format YYYY-MM-DD (2024-02-23) is intended to harmonize these formats and ensure accuracy in all situations. Many countries have adopted it as their sole official date format, though even in these areas writers may adopt abbreviated formats that are no longer recommended.
Well yeah... Nobody says that.
I'll usually ask my coworkers "hey, drinks afterwards at 17?" Nobody says o clock. If anything they'll say hundred. Seventeen Hundred. Just that. None of this seventeen hundred hours nonsense. They don't even talk like that in the military . It's just 17 or 1700
To be fair, a pen in the USMC is a fucking inkstick. So.They let Marines use pens?
They let Marines use pens?
What if they get ink in their mouths?
They do in the Marine Corps >_>I can tell you from personal experience, that was purely a boot thing. After getting to the fleet, that shit disappeared fast. Never in my entire military career did I say or hear "at __00 hours". It was always just the first one or two numbers. And boots that called a pen and ink stick would immediately get clowned on. I'm sure there are plenty of units out there that aren't like mine were, but still I feel like I've seen the average Marine unit having been in San Diego and Okinawa.
To be fair, a pen in the USMC is a fucking inkstick. So.
But yea, 24 hour clock is vastly more efficient.
Meanwhile, there's no question that more than one guy ever has gotten mixed up trying to figure out what time 20 is and missed the appointment by an hour or two.
Your team leader is a mentalist for thinking it's acceptable to arrange a meeting for 9:30pm on a Saturday night and if anyone on your team would have attended it if they'd known the time, they are too. What a freak.
This needs citation since I seriously doubt someone could misinterpret the basic '20=8pm' even if that someone exclusively uses nothing but 12hrs clock. A quick googling will give that '20=8pm' part Misinterpreting the missing AM vs. PM part however, does happen from time to time.I guess you don't know enough Americans.
I guess you don't know enough Americans.
Look I just wanted some irl proofs that 12hrs people could miscalculate '20=8pm' by 1-2 hours as stated by yourself . I'm not interested in derailing a simple math problem with personal presumption but since you prefer to handwave our convo with " americans, trust me bro ", let's agree to disagree.Oh, I don't care remotely that much. I'm just here because it takes my code a long time to compile.
