Nice.

Sorry to the rest of the world that uses a more sensible date formatting. I look forward to hearing from you in September.

Counter-point: If you view 6/9 as a shortened form for 2023/6/9 instead of for 6/9/23, then it's a perfectly sensible format. Year > month > day, it's perfect! God loves it! It's standard!

Sorry to bear bad news but YY/M/D is not ISO8601 standard.

Too late, it's 6/10 here

The date formatting confused me when I was a little kid doing school projects, as some of our textbooks were printed in the USA. I thought, "How could the Americans get the date of their first trip into space wrong?!"
