> nobody in Europe would have trouble Yeah, I guess if people look at it and parse it, they understand it. But what I notice is, that the IT-bubble I am in has no worries parsing these dates because we use them a lot in IT, even in Europe. But people outside of IT do seem confused about US-formatted dates from time to time, because they rarely encounter them. More than once did I notice someone struggling to fill in their birthday into an online form because the people making the form decided to use M/D/Y instead of D.M.Y Of course most can help themselves, but its not like these date formats seem natural or normal to everyone in Europe.
