    Once again Europeans assume the rest of the world is identical because Americans are the only ones bothering to correct them.

        In Canada we use all three formats and have invented even more. Fucking hell.

            Canada can never decide if they want to be Americans or British.

        Germany uses DMY exclusively. Why is it green instead of cyan?

            I have never seen yyyy-mm-dd in the wild except maybe as a filename conversation for practical reasons (you can sort them more easily). All official documents use (d)d.(m)m.(yy)yy

        According to that link, more countries use MDY in some capacity than I thought. Magenta, Red, Dark Blue, and Grey on the map are all listed as using it in the table below.

        I didn’t even mention date formats. It’s only 10/10 using the Gregorian calendar. There’s still the Islamic, Indian, Chinese Hebrew, and other calendars in use around the world.

      Not only Europeans, or Americans, or Christians. Most countries use the Gregorian Calendar either solely or additionally to a national calendar.

        Practically no one in the USA would have any idea what such a word would be representing.
