    This is not Pi day - no country in the world uses 3.14 as a date
    format

I blow a raspberry at you!

I thought the Americans wrote dates that way around: month.day, so it
would be 3.14

Typically 3/14/18 with slashes rather than dots, but really, who cares.

Yes and i often see computer dates written as 20180314Â for example,Â
something to do with UTC date format i think.

ISO 8601 - nothing to do with UTC. Makes it easier to sort. Often used with dashes: 2018-03-14
