WCDT 4431-4435 (4th-8th of January, 2021)

(1/26) > >>

Gyrre:
So I completely spaced out when typing in this week's thread dates, so I went back to the forum page and saw that we actually don't have a consistent dating format between WCDTs amongst us. Hell, I don't even do consistently from thread to thread unless I copy-paste an older thread's title to just change the numbers. And just out of curiosity, I dug way back to the first two dozen pages to to see what the WCDT format was when they were first started.

Anyways, thank God* 2020 is finely over. Here's to hoping 2021 is at the very least not any worse.

*or whatever deity/ancestor(s)/higher consciousness/being suits your beliefs

Wingy:
I much prefer YYMMDD, so I would nominate WCDT #### - #### (yymmdd - yymmdd).

Dandi Andi:
Ah, an ISO 6801 fan I see.

Gyrre:
I'm kind of torn, myself. As an American, I'm used to putting the month first. But some of them just look better visually.

Any graphic designers amongst us who want to weigh-in on this from that angle?

hedgie:
I have a preference for D/M/Y, but Y/M/D works as well.  It just doesn’t seem as useful as a human reading it, since the year and month change less often than the days, and a rollover in days is a quick visual shorthand that it’s a new month.
