For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

      Plus slashes are more likely to be blocked by arbitrary character set validation, and fail. Dashes more clearly distinguish the segments and are more compatible

        And don’t work in filenames. But yes, files being in the same order when sorted lexicographic or chronologically makes me smile.

      I have (minor) beef with ISO 8601. It’s very wishy washy about fractional seconds. It’s like “eh, idc if you use a period or a comma to separate them”

      I sign papers with customers from all over the world, and if I get to sign first and need to add a date, I invariably go for YYYY-MM-DD from ISO-8601. If they go first it’s most often illegible to readers without any cultural context.

      I agree. Plus, if you are naming files in your computer, using YYYY-MM-DD will keep them ordered chronologically by default.
