In a text like "the research started at 2003-01-24", or pretty much in any other text where you need to convey all 3 elements.

I bet you also don't say "14 07 1789", because that's what MM format means.

You bet wrong

We write AND say “La Révolution a démarré le 14/07/1789” or “La Révolution à démarré le 14 juillet 1789”

Spoken numbered month are usually used in an administrative context, to ease the work of our contact.

Oh that's right, the spoken administrative context. Same in my dd-mm-yyyy county actually. Still, I find it less intuitive than the logical yyyy-mm-dd when understanding written text.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
