The dates is correct, Month Day then Year.

No. The only place that uses that wonky and confusing method is the USA.

 

I put that in there simply to alert the rest of the world to what the numbers in the release notes are intended to tell them.

 

Netgear's minders have even agreed in the past that this is not a helpful way of presenting dates. They just haven't done anything about it.

 

Don't take my word for it.

 

 

The International Standard

In an effort to avoid miscommunication between people using the British date format and those using the American date format, an International Standard was developed. If an Australian writes February 3, 2019 as 03/02/2019, but an American writes the same date as 02/03/2019, who’s right? The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day: YYYY-MM-DD. So if both Australians and Americans used this, they would both write the date as 2019-02-03.

Writing the date this way avoids confusion by placing the year first. Much of Asia uses this form when writing the date. For example:

January 1, 2018 would be written as 2018 January 1. (Did you notice there’s no comma?).

 

The last time I looked, Netgear considered itself to be an international business.
