Amazingly Comprehensive Map Of Every Country In The World That Uses The Mmddyyyy Format

I wonder if that's just one more thing the US is still using from the original British (units and "soccer" anyone?) well after they've moved on... :)

This is always confusing us continental Europeans ...

you guys are easy to confuse?

Well, every now and then I hear some well known keynote speaker say things like "do not complicate what is simple".
I think that guy is right ;-)
Life is too short to fiddle with barleycorns, fathoms and steps :joy:

I actually like the yyyyMMddHHmm format because it sorts correctly!! ;-) [When we sign and date things we are supposed to use dd-MMM-yyyy or dd-MM-yyyy, e.g. 04-Nov-2018 or 04-11-2018 so it works 'around the world -- for English speakers ;-) ]

I use either yyyy-MM-dd or M/dd/yyyy when sign and date a paper document.
