Comic strip of a ghost and a person with the American flag pasted on the head. The ghost repeats “Boo!” in the first three panels without getting any reaction, but when it in the fourth panel says “kg, cm, km, °C” the American gets scared and screams “AHHHH!!!”.

    This one wouldn’t make sense as they say dates as month day, year.
    To me, dates should always be written in international format: YYYY-MM-DD

      Depends on context, IMO did/mm/yyyy is the most natural when writing some text, but partial ISO yyyy-mm-dd is ideal for when naming files and directories, makes lexicographical ordering follow chronological order.

      I personally prefer dd-mm-yyyy because cutting stuff of the end to get dd-mm or dd is better imho. Just an opinion tho, use what you like.
