Not only that but it is different enough with the year in front that you can assume MM/DD is next. With the other two MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY you are stuck relying on context to fully know what format someone is using. (Unless the day in question is greater than 12.)
That’s how it’s done in chinese. Imo DD/MM/YYYY is better though, since in practice the year is most commonly just the current year and isn’t nearly as important as the day or month.
I don’t get why more people don’t go biggest to smallest. Makes so much more sense. Especially when listing dates in order. YYYY/MM/DD
ISO 8601, BABY!
