And I likewise have never heard anyone have a strong preference in conversation on this. The only thing I would say is odd is the lack of ordinal suffix, it should be January 26th.
I think the lack of ordinal suffixes seems to be an increasingly (non-format-specific) used thing across many date formats and date vernaculars. I still add it when Im saying dates out loud or writing emails (eg “26th January” vs “26 January”) because it sounds less mechanical and robotic.
Probably doesn’t help that I’m autistic and omitting tiny little details like that give me eye twitches… Lol
