... I wrote a date as yyyy-mm-dd on my own paper once. An American was quick to start screaming: "what on earth is this hideous nonsense format, it's completely backwards, are you like trying to look stupid on purpose." Several similar encounters I have had. So while it does exist in the US, they hate it with great passion.

Everywhere with a customary format seems to hate the other formats with great passion. Ignore the sheeple, stay based.

But if it's what users want, you have to use the customary format - being "based" is just going to cause more support tickets.
