  How do you abbreviate a date in YYYY/MM/DD format?

  In the DD/MM/YYYY format I can tell someone I am available to meet on 26/07; the year is known contextually as it only changes once a year.

  If I start tell people I am available 26/07 am I available for all of July in 2026?

    Wait really? Your first example is also ambiguous for 12 years out of every 100

    YY/MM/DD or casual short MM/DD (where the year is understood). It’s no different, you just skip the year if it’s a given 😄 But for archival purposes, file naming etc, the YYYY part is mandatory.

    07-26, surely?
