Since you mentioned that, and this thread is about time, this song seems appropriate.

crinkles, been filing a lot of reports and stuff lately, and neither system makes sense.

Need YY/MM/DD, to get files into any sort of order.

We picked it up from the Brits before the US was a country and didn't change with the times like the Brits did in the early 20th century.

Another example, the US still uses the Queen Anne's wine gallon of 1707 while the Brits advanced to the Imperial system mid 19th century. That's why the louts have bigger pints of beer than we do.

Close, the ISO standard is yyyy-mm-dd, or yyyymmdd.
