I’m pretty aggressive, now, in my use of YYYY-MM-DD notation even in handwritten dates. Anything less is too ambiguous.

If the local library switched to ISO-8601, it would help reduce my anxiety around overdue books.

Yup. I use ISO-8601 when I sign and date any legal documents—anything else seems dangerously open to legal misinterpretation.

Hmm, it’s unlikely you’d be required to return the book 9 days before you borrowed it, unless the Brighton Hove Library is on Gallifrey…
