          He’s making a pedantic joke. Lower case m is sometimes used to indicate minutes.

          Albeit a weak one since many formats use lowercase m to indicate month. Such as programming languages like python & PHP. IBM & Microsoft standards also use lowercase m and so forth.

            I did think he might be making a joke but since as you said it would be a weak one I gave him the benifit of the doubt

            Yeah it’s a bit mixed bag. Powershell command get-date expects mm for minutes and MM for months, which has messed up my scripts logging few times lol
