  • Yes and YYYY-MM-DD can potentially be interpreted as YYYY-DD-MM. So that is an zero argument.

    No country uses “year day month” ordered dates as standard. "Month day year, " on the other hand, has huge use. It’s the conventions that cause the potential for ambiguity and confusion.

    That is great for your team, but I don’t think that your team has a size large enough to have any kind of statistically relevance at all. So it is a great example for a specific use case but not an argument for general use at all.

    Entire countries, like China, Japan, Korea, etc., use YYYY-MM-DD as their date standard already.

    My point was that once you adjust, it actually isn’t painful to use as it first appears it could be, and has great advantages. I didn’t say there wasn’t an adjustment hurdle that many people would bawk at.

    Many women survive the birth only to be inflicted with any one of a range of physical medical issues, including life long disability and chronic pain.

    There’s also deep mental issues that arise.

    Likewise, there are the potential negative health concerns for the baby to consider.

    On top of that, there’s all the many socio-economic problems.

    I’m not saying there are easy answers to all this, but I’m not minimizing the issues either.
