I’ve been told I need to redo paperwork because I marked the date like 12APR2025.
I get standardization for computers, but for something a person is going to look at I feel like it’s very direct, needs no explanation or interpretation. Anyone who sees it should be able to figure it out instantly.
To be fair I read it as 12A PR 2025 (yes I am stupid). It could also be the 12th version of the main PR of 2025. I’m not great with abbreviations and when it comes to months I’m also not used to it. Numbers seem superior to me.
I like DD MON YYYY. Feels very grand and unambiguous, but people always look at me funny for using it.

There is very little room for interpretation even if you don’t know the date format. That’s BS.
