    Despite living in the US my whole life, I don’t subscribe to the insane mm/dd/yy ordering, it’s the most ass backwards shit. That’s why I wrote 22 July. Not sure how you got 22nd month out of that when it’s unambiguous.

      That part was unambiguous, and the month comment was clearly a joke; however, the very next line you write “22/7”. While you meant division, you accidentally wrote common date separator format, which WAS ambiguous and opened the door for the joke.

      You could have written 22 ➗ 7 to get the effect you were aiming for ;).

      Hello! I don’t intend to convince anyone one way is better than another, but I wanted to share why I like the mm/dd/yy format.

      Simple reason, the number of possible integers increases as you go left to right.

      That’s all, got it out of my system. Thank you for reading.
