There's this really cool shorthand where you drop the year because it seldom changes. It's called MM-DD

Yeah and if you need to know what year, you can just add it to the end like this MM-DD-YY.

MM-DD-YY is the worst abomination I've seen yet

12-04-08

good luck figuring out what that is

Had a coworker who used MMDDYY with no dashes. Unless you knew it was very hard to figure out, since it could also just be a number that happened to be 6 digits, too. At least YYYY-MM-DD looks like a date generally.
