that's REALLY useful with official/computer stuff, but for everyday it's pretty annoying to have to read "the deadline is twenty twenty three, July, 6th" when you already know it's in July and in 2023. Often the only information you are looking for (the day) gets pushed in the end
It does, but in almost all cases where you are writing the date vs just saying it, the month is generally important since it's often not certain when it will be ready, so written out M/D is generally more useful.
