Date Format
Hello
I would like to ask about the date format. I read about the international date format which recommend generally. 2009-05-19 This is it.
I want to write the date format consistentally on my website. There is news article board (List of article titles and date ) but I don't have much space so I need shorter format of date but readable and
not confused. and For event calendar, there are events period I have to mention.
2009-5-19 ~ 2009-06-23 is too long..
What is the best way to write the date format shorterly?
Thanks a lot

Try: 09-05-18~09-06-23 Please note that this may confuse Americans because our standard is month/day/year. for example: Americans will read 09-05-18 as September 5th 1918 or possibly 2018. Also, shorterly is not a word.

Hi,
To avoid confusion about the format used for dates, paper and online forms often explicitly state the format used.
eg Date of birth
(yyyymmdd) ____
With regard to showing from/to periods, I would say the tilde mark is not widely understood to mean 'to'. I'd recommend using the word 'to' instead.
You say that you are short of space. Howe
