Not the month, the day - What’s today’s actual date?
Like I was saying, if you’d let me finish, “2025 - 02 - 27”
I’m mostly joking, but when it comes to info about dates, I think the most evctive format it one that organizes the information within a heirachy that provides follow up answers.
Formatting dates as day / month / year does just that.
Provides the day it is, followed by the month and year as that is the order that information is usually needed in.
I find providing the year first (or month) is much more ambiguous as neither are the day the actual date falls on.
Hey what’s today’s date?
It’s 2025 -
No like the DAY?
Yeah, it’s 2025, 02 -
Not the month, the day - What’s today’s actual date?

We need to get rid of the month/day and just refer to days by number. Today is day 121 in the year 2025, it’s super clear.
Why bother with years, it’s day 1,456,7834
