    25th of July, 2024 is confusing?

    There’s no ambiguity with the format, since it’s impossible to mix up month and day

      No. But 2024, the 25th of July is clumsy both spoken and written.

      July 25th, 2024 is okay but gives off middle child vibes.

      25th of July, 2024 is ordered small to big, rolls off the tongue and when written nicely seperates both sets of numbers for ease of readability.

      The only other alternative I will accept is Julian dates. Today is Day 26 of 2025.

        The fuck does that even mean? This is literally how people speak dates out loud.

          It means it gives off middle child vibes. What more do you want?

          People round these parts say the day first, then the month. Anything else is attention seeking middle child vibes.
