He’s making a pedantic joke. Lower case m is sometimes used to indicate minutes.
Albeit a weak one since many formats use lowercase m to indicate month. Such as programming languages like python & PHP. IBM & Microsoft standards also use lowercase m and so forth.
Can’t believe relevant xkcd hasn’t been posted.
I was unaware of this. But it uses the same logic as the British date format so I am okay with it.
Is this where someone posts the relevant xkcd about too many standards?
That standard can go fuck itself
The correct standard is dd/mm/yyyy
Why would you have minutes inbetween there and not months?
? I do have months in the “mm”

I did think he might be making a joke but since as you said it would be a weak one I gave him the benifit of the doubt
Yeah it’s a bit mixed bag. Powershell command get-date expects mm for minutes and MM for months, which has messed up my scripts logging few times lol
