I wish more people complied with ISO 8601.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

Even better, wish everyone would standardize on:

* YYYYMMDD for dates

* YYYY-MM for months

* YYYYMMDDTHHMM for time where T is the capital letter T. Two additional digits can be added for seconds and then as many additional digits as needed for precision.
