Nothing to do with the movie, just the title. Your answer was blindingly fast!

standardizing the date formats and just keep it as one. The shorter, longer, the too longer all these differences are fine. I'm just talking about the completely opposite types like
MM-DD-YY
DD-MM-YY
YY-MM-DD
This is seriously freaking tiring to handle. All the data sheet exported from system are in MM-DD-YY format, and the customer read them all as DD-MM-YY & feeds into their own internal system.
Yeah I head you saying "This is what localization is supposed to fix". But why? why not we fix this in peoples minds and make them follow a unified type.

Because the 'mercans cannot handle the correct date (or time) formats.

Careful now. Most of the things they can't handle are the side effects of having been British colonies. Centuries of independence have not even helped very much. The only thing they were spared was not having to drive on the weirder side of the road.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Careful - the euro-standard is just uniformly ass-backwards.
D-M-Y (any number of digits you prefer) sorts totally wrong.
Period.
YYYYMMDD is the only rational format as it can be sorted as is, even as text - but can be stored/sorted as an int. (I leave off proper date objects as they'd sort regardless).
Just the usual Eurogance (the now and forever word for European arrogance).
Time you just get over yourselves. Get some laxatives - clear your thoughts.

The Euro-standard sorts perfectly - if you write from right to left.

I agree the Europeans are arrogant, but us British?

OK OK OK.
Having seen enough Midsomer Murders (&etc.), I can safely say 'pompous', rather than arrogant, would be the description.

There may even be somewhere in England where people really behave like that. Apart from the murdering perhaps.

From what I hear of the behavior (behaviour, to them) English school boys, it would be amazing if there were only three-per-show equivalent in the countryside. Or at the least, they'd pluck the limbs off the torsos.
Famous, that lot.

I guess you have not travelled very much. I have travelled, worked, and lived in most European countries, the Middle East and North America, and am also slightly older than you.
My original comment was meant as a joke, hence the smiley. but seriously, I have found that my experience of life has taught me never to judge a nation on the evidence of one or two individuals, whether good or bad.

I guess you have only met a few actual British people, and have judged an entire nation on those few meetings. I could make exactly the same claim against Americans from one or two I have met. However, I have also met some extremely nice Americans, and Germans, French, Norwegians, Turks, Kuwaitis, South Africans etc.
With apologies to all the other countries I have visited but not mentioned.

My final comment, with apology.
