Confusing date format

Is there anything that can be done to fix the confusing date format on FlyerTalk? 11-10-2003 looks like 11th October 2003 to most people, whereas to users in the United States it looks like 10th November 2003.

It seems that the software is designed specifically for users in the United States. Most countries use DMY for dates, whereas Japan uses YMD and the United States uses MDY.

Can't we have dates in an internationally friendly format, e.g. dd-mmm-yyyy or 10-Nov-2003 for 10th November 2003? Otherwise it would be nice if the user's chosen date format could be set in the preferences.
