#1179: ISO 8601

Public Service Announcement:

Our different ways of writing dates as numbers can lead to online confusion. That’s why in 1988 ISO set a global standard numeric date format.

This is the correct way to write numeric dates:

2013-02-27

The following formats are therefore discouraged:

2013 02

13 27

2013 27

20130227 2013.02.27 27.02.13 27-02-13

27.2.13 2013.CC.27 (27

2)-13 2013.158904109

MMXII-II-XXVII MMXII(LVII

CCCLXV) 1330300800 [[this is the UNIX time for 2012-02-27, Randall]]

((3+3)x(111+1)-1)x3

3-1

.^3 [the numbers 2013, 02, and 27 written overlapping each other] [a black, hissing cat with 2-27-13 written on it]
