If most of the dates you’re looking at are within a reasonably narrow span (say 90 days), DD.MM.YYYY gives you the important information first, and you can often omit the YYYY entirely.
Exactly. It’s also spoken in that order for that reason. At least in the languages I know. If I ask you for the date and you start with 2026, I’ll be a litte confused.
Please elaborate. Can’t see how this could be true in any situation but I’m willing to hear you out xd

Must be a regional thing, because around here it’s MM-DD-YYYY spoken.
Ok I’ll give it to yall, MM-DD-YYYY can be good in some situations. DD-MM-YYYY is still sus tho.
