    If you need to ask for the current date so often, I suggest getting a watch. (not sure if joking vs predisposed for this part)

    If you’re asking so often about recent things then, yes, hearing the redundant parts out loud is only irksome because they’ve already been delivered to you (by yourself).

    On the other hand, if you’re asking someone when an arbitrary event happened (e.g. when reminiscing), having the year first quickens context.
