Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?

  Dates written in a numbers only format are not about matching the spoken language. You also would not say, “let’s meet on twelve eleven twenty twentyfour.”

  You must not know many programmers that have had to deal with American date formatting then.

    I used to be a programmer myself and it’s why there’s a specific default data structure built in to most programming languages to handle dates and internationalization of those dates.
