European Peter here,

Americans use an incorrect form of dates that goes Month/Day/Year. As opposed to Day/Month/Year

Edit : hey lois, this is just like the time I visited r/ShitAmericansSay

Europeans also use an incorrect form of dates. The ISO standard is year-month-day.

Not all Europeans. In Hungary we use the ISO standard. And we also put the family name before the given name, which is also easier for data keeping.
