ISO 8601: a better date format

Is that also how you’d say it? If verbally asked what tomorrow is would you say “twenty seven February” or “twenty seventh February” or “twenty seventh of February”? Americans normally would say “February twenty seventh”.

Yes. The 27th, or the 27th of February.

To us, US English seems to skip a lot of the small joining words of various flavours.

Well you're actually saying "the 27th day of the month of February" and removing some of the small joining words of various flavors. :) /s
