For sorting files by date (yyyy/mm/dd), sure, but for keeping track of what date it is today, dd/mm/yyyy is the only right way.
Ah, the "human scale" fahrenheit argument.
Not really, no. Some things are best for one thing, others are best for another, and Fahrenheit is ridiculous under all circumstances.
That's also the argument for metric, scaling by 10's is easy for us to calculate because we have 10 fingers
Why?
The first one is best for sorting files because it's basically like a Drive>Directory>Subdirectory structure, which makes things easy to seperate and find in a large amount of data.
Conversely, when you're keeping track of what day it is today, what you're doing this week etc, it's much more helpful to have the days first in mind because they're more relevant for THAT than what year it is.
You can just do mm/dd or even just dd in that case, you don’t need the year
You can just do mm/dd
That makes about as much sense as measuring travel distance in smoots.
