Why the dashes? They don't tell you any information. They just seperate the numbers to make it "look nicer". It's very space inefficient.

because information on a computer doesn't take up space so it's easier to read

also bla just use that format for the collective storage spreadsheet on the thing of total ubsr resources so that you can use the timeline format and it will all be lovely :)

Screw ISO! Each country has it's own format.

And this guy Iso comes along thinking he can change our ways. NOES! Go away ISO!

yeah i think dashes or other symbol in place makes the text much easier to read, just like commas are used to space large numbers

no

my opinion on date standard: yyyyXmmXdd

where X is any spacing character or none at all (where I prefer none)

"Hey what day is it?"
"2013..."
"Okay good start we're in the right year I see I didn't flit into another timeline when I asked"
