the "best" format for everyday use is each individual person's personal preference.

you may be more used to DDMMYYYY due to culture, language, upbringing, and usage. in the same vein, i am more used to YYYYMMDD because in chinese we go 年月日 (year-month-day), and it makes organizing files and spreadsheet entries much more intuitive anyways.

Well in that case people should stop complaining about us wanting to use DD.MM.YYYY it's perfectly fine and the only format that should be shot on sight is MM.DD.YYYY
