Even when the month abbreviation is in a language you don't know?

Then I can always use „env LANG=C ls -l”.

That's why the ISO date formats are numeric:  As long as one uses
[whatever the right name for our Arabic-digit-based decimal system
is], one can read the ISO date format.

Only if you know, it is ISO date format. Using the name for the month does not make things more complicated with the exception of parsing the output with another program.

Shade and sweet water!
