This is a good example of why we have standards for dates. Your example is wrong for multiple reasons:

* You don't specify the year and the time zone

* ISO 8601 and RFC 3339 are better when it comes to naming files

* It's not a valid date in the healthcare industry where the month must be in uppercase letters like "25 MAR 2023"



2023 certainly looks like a year to me.


None of these are examples of wrongness, but of it being unfit for specific purposes.


Is it not the year 2023...?
