OT: what kind of date format is used in the article? It says „M05 27 2022“ and I have not seen that before. Does M05 mean May-05, so basically saying may-may?

I guess it's to clear the confusion of, for example, what date would "04 07 2022" be, is that 4th of July or April 7th?
"M05 27 2022" seems to indicate that it's in fact MM DD YYYY not DD MM YYYY

If only there was some kind of international standard for date formatting we could use to get around that issue...

Owner of the blog here. I use the same date format on my website as I do on my phone:

The parent comment is just teasing about ISO 8601. :o) YYYY-MM-DD is a nice way to write a date.

Woah that’s even more interesting! „M05 30, Mon“. May I ask where you are from or where that date format is used?
