They do but one informs the reader of the order of the format while the other doesn’t.

Look it’s easy, you just wait until the 13th of the month to figure out which format it is. Is 12 days really so much to ask?

The first isn’t ambiguous at all; the second is hella ambiguous.

It’s only ambiguous because there’s a second standard.

Is 08/09/2023 August or September? What about 08.09.2023? Do you see where the problem lies?

No, the second one says “Sept. 8th 2023” and that last panel is obviously British (you can tell by the teeth) /s
