i'm 5 days late on this thread, so i deserve to be ignored.
most places outside of north america, as far as i am aware, use
dd/mm/yyyy. the mm/dd/yyyy format now used throughout the site is
completely ambiguous.
i would've hoped we could use a format that is more international - either
by spelling the month or using yyyy-mm-dd
