Yep - never a truer word said, the stupid American date format MM-DD-YY (causes me no end of grief no way to tell it from DD-MM-YY or YY-MM-DD (which the rest of the world prefers to use) and invariably there's enough human error to make it difficult to work it out from old date.

The only date format (in my experience) that crosses borders is YYYY-MM-DD
