Me too, for the same reasons.
I don't think confusion is a real issue in this case because dates in all popular forums start with either today or yesterday. That makes it easy for folks who are used to
"world standard" date order to know what's meant without undue delay (while giving them, if they so choose, yet another opportunity to swear at those foolish Yanks).
If it was a real problem, one (or many) of the active FTs from outside the U.S. would have mentioned it long ago.
For the sake of a more friendly screen layout, can we please go back?
