I don't get why people hate MM-DD-YYYY. If you ask someone what day it is, they'd say "December 13, 2020". You use MM-DD-YYYY or MM-DD if the year is obvious in conversation, why not in writing too? I feel like Americans got this one right by accident. If you want to shit on American measurement standards just plug the metric system. But display dates make sense imo.
Yeah in Greek it is "13 Δεκεμβρίου 2020", the analogue of which would be "13th of December 2020", but there is no natural way to say it in a MM/DD format.
but...by that logic isn't the month also kinda obvious in most circumstances? Like, if someone asks you what day it is, what is a more useful answer - "December" or "13th". Like, they get all the knowledge they need from the 13th.

That’s how you say it in English. In French it would be “le treize décembre 2020.” I assume most other Latin languages are the same.
Yeah you would never do MM/DD in my native language.

I say "the 13th of December". Bit like saying "the fourth of July"
Because the rest of the world uses DD-MM-YYYY
this is all CIA propaganda
