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? - eviltoast

It annoys me even though I’m still in the U.S.

Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:

    YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.

    I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.
