    The only thing worse than mm/dd/yyyy is dd/mm/yyyy. Use a bloody different separator if you’re writing dates correctly.

        It’s already in use for mm/dd/yyyy. When I see slashes I expect that, when I see dots I expect dd.mm.yyyy, when I see hyphens I expect yyyy-mm-dd.

        And then comes along a random I guess Canuck and writes something totally incomprehensible.

          No, it’s already in use for dd/mm/yyyy. When the majority of the world sees slashes (with the four-digit year at the end), they expect that. Americans are the ones making things ambiguous.
