Just kill the stupid US date format.
Even as an American, I dislike the US method of writing dates. It's neither Big-endian or Little-endian, but rather scrambles the sorting order entirely. For that matter, when it comes to proper sorting order, I prefer YYYY-MM-DD (or YYYY/MM/DD) as that's immediately obvious for intent, as well as readily sortable.
Otherwise, if I need to write out a date I need to send someone, I'll use a YYYY-mmm-DD (3-letter abbreviation for the month) or YYYYmmmDD.
