No; I’m not. I very explicitly started my first comment with “a year is too large of a time” and the person before me noted it’s suited for “casual short term planning” (which I consider things like the dates on homework assignments and the like to be; I would argue most things that people do within a given year fit this use case. You simply don’t care about the year most of the year but you always care about the month regardless of if you care about the day of the month).

DD-MM-YYYY just simply isn’t usefulness because a month is too short a period of time for the day to be most relevant to you. In almost every case where you need to use the day of the month, you need to know what the month is. It may not be a consistent ordering but, given the average person’s interaction with dates in a society, it’s the one that matches the relevance of these values to their daily lives.

As I originally said, I can admit that – if we wanted consistency – YYYY-MM-DD is probably better (MM-DD-YYYY is absolutely worse when looking over a period of years though no worse than DD-MM-YYYY) and I could accept that as a universal form but, for day-to-day (assuming we don’t want to lose the year so these dates don’t become useless in the future), MM-DD-YYYY works really well. Consistent/logical/etc. or not, a month is simply too short, in the context of human perception, for us to care about the day of the month without the context of said month.

DD-MM-YYYY just gives me the info. I cannot do anything with, without further context (which I probably needed more, anyway), first.
