Isn't it MM/DD, not mm.dd in US? E.g. 8/23, not 8.23. My point is that it is more or less insane to start inventing new date format with zero regard to formats in other countries.

Eh, people will use anything, I've also seen 8-23. 8.23 certainly isn't a stretch.

You haven't been dealing with the U.S. much, have you? To be fair, most of the fun comes from their use of ancient standards rather than new ones, but they aren't exactly known for consulting with other countries. Then again, at 300 million people it's a little difficult to blame them.
