| Jul 20, 2018 at 13:24 | comment | added | Broadsworde | The format/order M D Y of any variation is predominantly used by the US: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country. British folks would never/rarely say or write M D Y (I'm English!). The ISO standard levels the playing field for all preferences by using the same scheme we have all been using for time, e.g. largest unit to smallest unit: yyyy-mm-dd conforms with hh:mm:ss, it's logical. | |

The Americanized version would be "04/24/2016" while the British would write "24/04/2016". But both would write "Apr 24 '16", nothing American about this. | |

| Jul 20, 2018 at 8:54 | comment | added | Amith KK | I would assume it's because that's much more readable | |
