How does one read 1776-07-04?
Easy!
One reads it "1776 July 4".
What's the problem?
For a recent medical problem, I answered questions including my
birthdate numerous times. I always said "1935 July 15" and no one ever
asked me to clarify that.
I don't delude myself; I think most of them wrote "July 15, 1935" but
it certainly was not unclear to them the way I said it.
I gave my height in centimetres and mass in kilograms, too, by the
way. No problem!
