The 22nd will be bigger, because it's on a Tuesday.

The 22nd is also a palindrome in most of the world!

22/02/2022

The last until March 2, 2030.

The only correct way to write a date is yyyy/mm/dd. You can substitute hyphens or dots or spaces (or nothing at all) for the slashes, but it has to be 4-digit year, 2-digit month, 2-digit day.

I agree with you, computer logic-wise and organizationally-wise -- I have a client that puts their dates like 1-23-2021 and it drives me CRAZY, like how does that help organize ANYTHING? Let's put all the january stuff together no matter the year, right next to the october stuff. UGH.

But I think if not for habit, I'd prefer the international way of handling it for most of life's uses. Usually I know what year it is and more likely what month it is, so tell me the day first.

When is the party?
The 22nd
Much better than, when is the party?
February
Or, when is the party?
2022

Y'all this is not the life or death debate thread! That being said, DMDarcs has won the thread as usual.

Also please note my time of posting because I am clever that way.
