    yyyy.mm.dd does honestly makes by far the most sense. That being said, north america switching to day first would already be a massive achievement.

      I had emails from CVS (American pharmacy store) about vaccination records recently and noticed this

      Administration date 2024-10-25

      First time I’ve seen dates used like that in a public-facing context. The birth dates were in that form, too.

      The US uses metric measures in many places, too. Usually medical, but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml.

        Phone thickness in millilitres? I knew they have a hard time mixing metric with imperial but this is kind of ridiculous

        Americans announcing phone thickness in ml sounds about right
