It looks like the site uses different date formats in different places. On the articles pages (e.g., this page), it uses the nonsensical MDY date format (Mon DD, YYYY) that is exclusive to the US. On the forum main page and topic list pages, for example, it uses a dashed version of the DMY date format (DD-Mon-YYYY). And on an actual forum topic/thread page itself, it uses the proper, internationally standard DMY date format (DD Month YYYY, as codified in the RFC 2822 specification).Please change all of the former formats to the RFC 2822 format for consistency and sensibility. Also, I'd highly recommend switching to the 24-hour time format so that the extra "AM"/"PM" markers do not need to be displayed, and so that it is somewhat considerate of all Indian languages, as most Indian languages do not have a similar "AM/PM" concept.

Thank you for the suggestion. We will make it consistent in coming days.

Thank you. It seems like you fixed some of these instances, but not all of them. For example, the "News" box on the home page and the articles under it (e.g., https://www.shabdkosh.com/archives/about/practice-your-pronunciation) still seem to use the same MDY format. Also, the forum pages (e.g., https://www.shabdkosh.com/forums) still use a format with hyphens as separators.
