This is why it should always be yyyy/mm/dd

While what you say makes perfect sense and is logical, the truth is that anyone who has an ounce of intelligence can easily parse this information in a few seconds regardless of its format.

This is not an argument for maintaining the status quo, but rather, is meant to put it into perspective as the deeply unimportant detail that it is.

yyyy/mm/dd makes the most sense in my opinion and is the order used in ISO 8601 and similar specs (though in the format yyyy-mm-dd), but we already have enough culture-specific stuff that date formats are the least of our issues.
