Many years of completing dates on forms that could be taken to court taught me that it will be 22.02.2022

Presumably if you grow up with m-d-y it doesn’t feel weird the way it does to me - it’s like putting the name of your street on the address, then the house number, then the town.
(And yes, I know there are places where they do this. That feels equally weird to me. Large to small or small to large, not a bit of both.)
(And yes, I know about Japanese street addresses. 
)

Yes, I only use it when filing stuff, though.
Bring back Thermidor!!
This reminds me of my poor attempts at learning the months of the year in Lithuanian (my partner’s mother language). As simple as their days of the week are (literally traducing to First Day for Monday, Second Day for Tuesday and so on) the months of the year names have nothing to do with the Roman Calendar names. So, like with the French Revolutionary months, you have to completely learn them from scratch, there’s no similar roots like say, between English, French and Spanish…
As a sample, the one I know by heart is December, which is Gruodis… and I tend to have to look that one up for reference

I started filing our churches podcasts like that and got told to name them in a more readable format.

Palindromic, even better!
This is of course the one I use, and the only one that makes sense, I just shortened it for effect above.
(As a result, my dad still gets confused and thinks his granddaughter’s birthday is on Jan 12th instead of Dec 1st!)

We were supposed to have tacos tonight, a.k.a. Taco Twosday. But a winter storm came through last night, so I was outside with the older kids (ages 4 and 2) playing in the snow when dinner should have been started.
So I guess we’ll have tacos tomorrow or Friday, since we have the fixings. But we are definitely going to have tacos on Tuesday, 2022-02-22, a.k.a. Taco TuesTwoTwosDay
Edit: we made afternoon margaritas in preparation for tacos… Oh well, no harm, no foul

Having become slightly obsessed with Encanto, I’m sure there’s a boardgame themed song to be had
“We don’t talk about Uno”
Just leaving that there in case someone more talented than me reads it
