Surely that is incorrect, it should be 01/02/2022, unless the dates on the site are backwards or in some strange European format.

The rest of the world finds the US format strange.

What I find more interesting about this is that's it's due to cultural evolution. I'm British and if you walk around a churchyard you'll see the older gravestones all use what is now the US format. That was the original format we used but at some point, someone decided it was more logical to use ascending order and eventually that became universally used. The USA is still yet to make that step. It's the same with most of the US English language differences in spelling and pronunciation. The US still uses a lot of old English and the 2 languages evolve separately.

That's how US got theirs. UK used that system back when they invaded US continent, and then they eventually lost and USA was built, and they kept using it. UK changed their minds, but they brought their old system to USA and USA never considered changing it. This is why I believe that these things should be more global and should be globally decided with all national heads together. Now USA has something wrong and even weight or height or length all of those things are super confusing there.

I know that you guys are developing the website and so forth, so you probably are aware that there is a good case of development chaos when you use the wrong denomination as well. I once did 1.000 instead of 1,000 and it took me 4 hours to find where the mistake was, troubleshoot hell. All in all it is just wrong and to change it today would be near impossible and would create even more chaos for many years, eventually it will be awesome but for a few years everything will be horrible.
