Today's Date

Before knowing what is the date today, it's important to be aware of the standardization of current date formats.

In numeric format, the existence of the two patterns can lead to an incorrect interpretation of the date.

Imagine that you have sent a copy of an important document to a customer in the US and another customer in the UK.

This document informs that both must attend the meeting to be held on 08-04-2022.

The one English client will interpret the meeting date as April 8, 2022.

While the US client will interpret the meeting date as August 4, 2022.

The ISO 8601 date order with four-digit years as YYYY-MM-DD was introduced in ISO 2014.

This new date format was created to eliminate confusion in dates used in international correspondence.

What is Today's Calendar Date?

A calendar date is a reference to a particular day represented in a calendar system.

The calendar date allows the specific day to be identified and the number of days between two dates can be calculated.

For example, "August 27, 2022" is ten days after "August 17, 2022".

The date of a given event depends on the time zone observed in each region of the planet.

For those in Japan, the air raid on Pearl Harbor began at 3:18 am on December 8, 1941.

While for those in Hawaii (USA), the attack began at 7:48 am on December 7, 1941.

A given day can be assigned a different nominal date depending on the calendar used.

Therefore, it was necessary to create an identification suffix to standardize the dates.
