You can become confused, though, when filling out US forms where
the birth date is written M/D/Y instead of D/M/Y, and sometimes you have
to be careful not commit the silly mistake that will entrain months
of delay in intricate *dédales* of the administration.
This is because the USA is a few hundred years behind the rest of the
world, and, cannot comprehend ISO standards -
the ISO standard for date, is
2024-06-24
YYYY-MM-DD
which is the most efficient way of expressing a date, using the
components of year and month and day of the month
But, for a country that has yet to implement its constitution, it is not
really so surprising.
