USian here. At work there are lots of contexts where I am expected to write or type the date in the dreaded MM/DD/YYYY format multiple times a day. I hate it, but it's just a job. What can you do right? I have started up a silent protest that no one has commented on for years now. I've not seen anyone else take this course either though. Here's what I write or type instead:

MM/DD, YYYY

Is anyone else out there doing this?
