DD/MM/YY vs MM/DD/YY

YYYY/MM/DD
Works better for sorting in my opinion

MM/DD/YYYY. We kicked those pusses asses twice and pulled them out the fire twice. frick their way.

YYYY-MM-DD is the format used by databases and best for data manipulation

Yep.

USCS Units in engineering. WTF am I going to do with Bars instead of psi?

The only reason this isn't a bigger deal is there is an ocean separating us and Europe.

The American military (the guys that actually did the arse kicking) uses the DD/MM/YYYY format.
