Imagine acting superior about a date format.
No need for acting when the (non-US) date format is superior
DD-MM-YYYY is better, but still causes issues. ISO 8601 though, now that’s a superior format.
Also the date format used organically in East Asia because of the cultural habit of writing big to small.
English tends small to big, so I don’t know where yanks got their date format from.
Can you elaborate on that last part? I fail to think of anything where its natural for English to go from small units to big units.
