How should September be abbreviated?
- Firefox: Sept
- Chrome: Sept
- Node.js: Sept
- Deno: Sept
- Safari: Sep 👀
This is for en-GB, en-IE, en-AU and en-NZ locales (maybe more); for other English locales, everyone agrees it should be Sep. Standards!
@paulrobertlloyd I had this same conversation about month abbreviations at work a few years ago. We came up with the best compromise:
9.
🤣
@starrwulfe Ha! (We’ll put to one side that ‘Sept’ is derived from the number 7). I guess humans are just complicated and inconsistent.
@paulrobertlloyd oh yeah, I remember racking my brain in middle school around Oct (8), Nov (9) and Dec (10) and wondering how we added 2 extra months somewhere. No internet in 1991 meant a few hours in the library were spent sleuthing… and snoozing I’ll admit.
