How are dates written globally?

The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day: YYYY-MM-DD. So if both the Australian and American used this, they would both write the date as 2019-02-03. Writing the date this way avoids confusion by placing the year first. Much of Asia uses this form when writing the date.

What is the global date format?

YYYY and DD. MM. YY have been replaced by the ISO date notations YYYY-MM-DD and YY-MM-DD.

Which countries put month before day?

Despite the variety of date formats used around world, the US is the only country to insist on using mm-dd-yyyy.

What is long date format?

Long Date Format=mmmm d, yyyy. Short Date Format=m/d/yy. Day Date Format=ddd, mmm d, yyyy. Time Format=hh:mm:ss AM/PM.
