Date and time standards
I’ve been asked a couple times why the dates on my site are displayed the way they are. I use ISO 8601 for writing dates because it removes any ambiguity and eliminates confusion between the various common regional and international formats.

The linked document above goes into detail about why ISO 8601 exists and why it’s a good idea to use it.
