Aug 9, 2023and08/09/23literally say the same thing.They do but one informs the reader of the order of the format while the other doesn’t.
Look it's easy, you just wait until the 13th of the month to figure out which format it is. Is 12 days really so much to ask?

August 9th 2023 would be 09.08.2023 in Germany though 😉
Also changing it to periods doesn't avoid confusion about the order. Also pretty sure we fought a whole war over not being like the Germans, so...
It's quite simple really. The order is "small to big". You start with the smallest unit, in this case the day. Then follows the next largest unit, the month, and finally the year. Basically the same as in the top picture, but in reverse order.
The first isn’t ambiguous at all; the second is hella ambiguous.
It's only ambiguous because there's a second standard.
Is 08/09/2023 August or September? What about 08.09.2023? Do you see where the problem lies?
08/09/23 literally says the 8th day of september.
That’s why I write 9 Aug ‘23
No, the second one says "Sept. 8th 2023" and that last panel is obviously British (you can tell by the teeth) /s
