Didn't we just have this thread a few months ago? Did we suddenly get a new person from a 19th century, or was the last thread about the last person from the 1800s? I'm fairly sure it was about the 19th century though.

As far as I know, the Gregorian calendar is the calendar used for many practical purposes, and ISO 8601 isn't used very much in everyday use. As a simple example, dates are not written using ISO 8601 in English. We write, for example, Apr 22, 2018, or 4/22/2018 (which, if you ask me, is a really bad format, but it's still used), and not 2018-04-22.

American, you mean. Here in England we write 22 Apr 2018 or 22/4/2018 like most of the world

I was actually thinking about that! I wasn't sure though, so I went with what I wrote. If you ask me, Apr 22 is fine though, since it's not ambiguous which is the month and which is the day and it reads well too.
