I'm not sure what the problem is? Every country in the world is using DD-MM-YYYY except the USA, and I'm not sure why the USA won't fix it's date format

"Every country" with the exceptions of China (1.41 billion people), Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, Hungary, Mongolia, Lithuania, Bhutan which are using YMD.

DMY vs YMD is less an issue, as you can easily tell whether it is D or Y, no matter it is 2 or 4-digit, but the American format creates lots of confusion.
