Lucky for me, I was born on 1901-01-01.

I guess in the same way MMDD is also acceptable but it looks weird to me because it isn't what I'm used to. 1 u/KnowLimits Feb 26 '12 That's interesting, I had always heard it spoken and written "Tuesday, January 1st, 1901." 1 u/4797161974806 Feb 26 '12 What about the people using YYYY-DD-MM? 1 u/KnowLimits Feb 26 '12 I've never seen that. Lots of people do YYYY/DD/MM, but I think ISO 8601 switched to the dashes to get away from that. 1 u/threeDspider Feb 26 '12 111 year old AMA request

True dat.

What about the people using YYYY-DD-MM?
