This.

I can handle DDMMYY[YY] it reads correctly. But YYYYMMDD is numerically correct, most signifcant to least significant digitwise.

That thing only American's do, is completely non-sensical.

It is sensical for one use:

"So when is the event?"
"May 20th, 2024"

It's such a niche use, though

Americans always put the month first.
E.g. July 4th.

Except when we don't, like 4th of July...

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.
