Date and time notation in the United States differs from that used in nearly all other countries. It is inherited from one historical branch of conventions from the United Kingdom.[citation needed] American styles of notation have also influenced customs of date notation in Canada, creating confusion in international commerce.[1]
In traditional American usage, dates are written in the month–day–year order (e.g. April 27, 2024) with a comma before and after the year if it is not at the end of a sentence[2] and time in 12-hour notation (11:48 pm).
International date and time formats typically follow the ISO 8601 format (2024-04-27) for all-numeric dates,[3] write the time using the 24-hour clock (23:48),[4] and notate the date using a day–month–year format (27 April 2024).[5] These forms are increasingly common in American professional, academic, technological, military, and other internationally oriented environments.
