Depends on the country I’m or the person I’m writing too.
Month/day/year so today is July 14, 2022 or 7/14/22
Month, day, year
Personally, as often as possible, I go with YYYY-MM-DD.
But more common is MM/DD/YY
Today is July 14, 2022. Or 7/14/2022.
I have to stop and think when writing dates for things related to travel and work in Europe. I know to switch it when needed but the format above is natural.
It depends. Personally, in my notes or something similar, I use 14 July 2022. For US based communication, I use July 14, 2022. For comms to Europe or Asia I use 14 July 2022
I like to use yyyy-mm-dd with file names and data at work, so the alphabetic sort matches a chronological sort, but in communications and speech I use mm/dd/yy
Either month, day, year, or if I need easy digital sorting, year, month, day.
If I’m working internationally, I just avoid numeric abbreviations for the month. Anything else you need to ask for clarification.
Almost always (M)M/(D)D/YY. Sometimes I’ll do MM/(D)D/YYYY on more official documents, like the documents to buy my house or car, for example. I also have a different date convention if I’m putting a date in a document/folder title on the computer, which is YYYYMMDD.
Same way I’d speak the date. Month, day, year.
July 14 2022 when at work, as I work with a lot of Europeans.
07/14/22 or 7.14.22 when not at work.
Electronic file names: YY-MM-DD
Writing or casual usage: MM/DD/YY
either as MM/DD/YYYY or ## MM #### (14 JUN 2022) if I have little faith in the reading comprehension skills or whatever organization I’m writing the date for
MM/DD/YY
That’s pretty standard here.
Any time someone does Day/Month/Year I assume they’re not American
DD-MMM-YYYY *eg* 14-JUL-2022 on mail coming in and MM/DD/YYYY *eg* 07/14/2022 everywhere else.
MM/DD/YYYY
MM/DD/YY at home. DDMmmYY (14Jul22) at work.
I always write the word for the month for clarity, but I switch randomly between *2022 July 14* (large to small) and *14 July 2022* (small to large)
I say day month year, but writing it depends on why I’m writing it.
Month, day, year.

As with many other things we get blamed for, we got it from the Brits.
I use what I’m asked for, MM/DD/YYYY for handwritten, or for my own data management YYYY-MM-DD
