That was cute. Faye is jealous of no longer being the 'cool big sis'. Ha.
N.N. Marf:
Given that it's weekly comic discussion.. thread titles would be neater if we used the week number, rather than month/day ranges, which are irregular on mid-week month or year changes, unless we write out the whole year and month twice. There's an international standard having the 1st week with more than half it's days in the new year as week 1.

Ever since May got her new body, I've noticed that she's cooled down a lot. He's less abrasive and more willing to reach out and be friendly with people. This fits in with my feeling that a lot of her behaviour was due to her environment - a broken body that was causing her only pain and stress.
Meanwhile, I find myself wondering just how deep Faye's jealousy about her 'baby sister' making a new friend might run!
Regarding the poll question, I prefer to do dates in what, to me, is their intuitive correct format. Today is the 4th day of January 2021, so the date would be written as '4th January 2021'. To me, other formats are back-to-front. Seriously, though, it's also not a big thing and certainly not something that needs to be changed. So long as everyone can get the necessary data, there is no need to have fixed thread title formats.

It beats using the julian, but I think we'd still need to include the date range in some fashion. Perhaps week X, [thread poster's preferred date format]?

I was mostly just curious as to everyone's preferred date format. Personally, the most 'sensible' date format depends on what's being dated. As previously mentioned, ISO works really we for archiving. But, 'big-endian' doesn't really feel natural in terms of speech or dialogue, so one of the others might do better. Hell, format preference could be used to convey information about a character's personality. Granted, author bias can come into play pretty easily.

Ah yes.
US americans and dates.
I've literally seen places in which people used both M/D/Y and D/M/Y. Good luck finding out what date was actually meant if D <= 12.
I dont understand it. Its so easy. Just use YYYY-MM-DD (the international format) and you'll be all set. I use that all the time.
