Date is in the wrong format

Everyone knows that MM-DD-YYYY is a garbage format

Please change to DD-MM-YYYY

Or give the option

Re: Date is in the wrong format

... I use MM/DD/YYYY It's more easier to understand and also it's not a bug (it's a suggestion)

▼IDEA!

We should be able to change format in Settings

Cause months only go to 12, days max 31 and years are in the thousands.

Re: Date is in the wrong format

When you read the date it is faster to say "February fourteenth" than it is to say "the fourteenth of February" so MM/DD/YYYY is easier to convert to speech.
and also because Murica

I do hear people saying 'month day' in England also people saying just 'day month' (without 'the' or 'of'); I usually say 'month day' because in the correct format (YYYY-MM-DD) it's month then day.
