Those in Europe must wait for July 22nd, Pi Approximation Day. That's right, 7/22.
I've always lived in the United States but I've been won over to the logic of Month/Day dating format vs. our silly Day/Month format. Since I cannot go around in the States dating my checks (not cheques) 12/3 to indicate March twelfth, I use ISO 8601 date format: YYYY-MM-DD.
What I like about that format is it's unambiguous for both U.S. and foreign observers. (I work in a multi-national company.) It's month-first for U.S. readers, but it's also clear to the rest of the world that the month is in the middle.
