Why would you want to do that? I don’t think Europeans realize how familiar technical and engineering minded Americans are with metric. It’s just so overplayed.
GP is right my default reaction as a MM/DD/YYYY dumb American was that you didn’t make sense because that is the internationally standardized unambiguous format and what we all use for dates where sorting or i18n matters. Sorry for rant you probably don’t deserve it but for real that is the lamest joke imaginable and your content is good enough that it doesn’t need “dunks”
Conspiracy theory: US will never switch to metric because then you'd sell half as many tools.
I'm joking of course but there's a grain of truth. The meme of a lost 10mm socket is just as true in America and most tool sets come with both imperial and metric sizes. It's really annoying to have to double up. But wouldn't be America if we didn't have unnecessary complexity, right? Can't be a real programmer™ without facing that on a daily basis
