Oh, the date thing. I hate it because it conflicts with rest of the world too 05/06/2024 causes lot of confusion since we can't even know which system we are using. Thanks it only happens online not locally in my country

Even more annoying, because there's a bunch of software with bad localisation where we sane DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY.MM.DD users are forced to see the abomination that is MM/DD/YYY and it leads to errors.

Yes, online it¡s better to write the month name to avoid confusion, because of 4 removed countries worldwide wich still use the imperial syste,
