Regular reminder that YYYY-MM-DD is the best date format. In addition to being the only one that's sorting-friendly and compatible with place-value intuitions that we use for everything else, it's also the one that's not confusing.

The arguments that YYYY-MM-DD is more confusing or further from human experience aren't really very appealing to me, because East Asia works totally fine with YYYY-MM-DD including in commonly spoken human language, and it feels completely natural.

I like MM/DD/YYYY because it complies with how people verbally communicate dates in English. Just conditioning at the end of the day though.

While standardization helps and that is technically beneficial, no governing body might want to change the habits and preferences in each region.
