Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The year can be written with two digit numbers (22 for 2022) or four (2022). When writing a date with a day of the week, the order is: day of the week, month, day, year. For example: Tuesday, January 5, 2022.
Detailed explanation-2: -The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day: YYYY-MM-DD.
Detailed explanation-3: -In America, the date is formally written in month/day/year form. Thus, “January 1, 2011” is widely considered to be correct. In formal usage, it is not appropriate to omit the year, or to use a purely numerical form of the date.
