Still have 23 minutes before that's true.
In your time zone, yes. I believe @anonymous234 is somewhere in Europe, making his question (based on his post time) one day later, AFAIK.

It's a good bet, based on his use of dd/mm for dates (need I mention that mm/dd/yy makes absolutely no sense?).

YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss
(timezone offset as desired, also, I can live with or without aT
between date and time) or GTFO

You're aware that the ISO standard supports partial information, aren't you?

Is that meant to make it obvious that it's not Texas?

Google "Baton Rouge" and see if you can figure out what states have one. I left the quote sized as it was lest some wag try to claim it wasn't Baton Rouge proper.
But I can understand @blakeyrat's failure here--he relied on the NYT, which used the "Texas" tag. So I guess they have reading comprehension as well. Or maybe it's like the news outlet that reported on that woman who drove a car into a crowd recently, headlining their article "4 shot to death".

Sounds like work. Would you do the same if I refuted someone saying something happened in Surrey by pointing out that it was in Margate?

I actually did!

Maybe we need a thread about naming all the state capitals, too?
-
I've seen enough non-geographically-specific American TV to know that all state capitals are called Capital City. You can't fool me

It was the right ruling. If you're not taking orders from Air Traffic Control, stay over property you have permission to be flying over.

I think @Lorne_Kates already had a 50 States thing started, perhaps we can add to it?
-
mm/dd/yy makes absolutely no sense?
This article told me:
- No one has any idea what the answer to your question is
- Canadians are really confused on this topic
YYYY-MM-DD HHss
This makes sense from a sorting/ordering viewpoint, esp. on computers. Perhaps one way it will become the accepted norm.

It's because we say aloud "November 5th, twenty-fifteen" rather than "The 5th of November, two thousand and fifteen". It's much shorter.

The fifth f November?
-
There's an apostrophe there. Fifth'f, not quite two syllables
-
It looks like you are deliberately lengthening the dd/mm/yyyy date format, by using "of", and "two thousand" instead of "twenty". I'll let someone who uses the dd/mm/yyyy format in English tell us how it's usually pronounced. In French, it comes out as "five* november two thousand fifteen" (but thousand and fifteen only take 1 syllable each).
- rather than fifth (which would be longer)

What, trolling? On this forum? I'm shocked at your assertion, good sir! Pistols, at dawn!

Dawn, but in which time zone?

November the 5th twenty-fifteen. The year's not usually mentioned when it's the same year though.
-
Remember, remember, the fifth of November
twenty-fifteen vs two thousand and fifteen isn't exactly fixed, either.

Twenty-fifteen is more common IME.

So you put the month before the day in speech, but not in writing?
I'm betting most cultures omit the year when it's the current one.
As for the shooting duel, I'm screwed anyway. I'm so inept with firearms I could load a cartridge wrong way about.
-

There are people who say the 5th of November.
Does anyone expect consistency from the English language?
