Please allow for non-US dd/mm/yy date format

date formats are for US-only (maybe UK, too, not sure). The rest of the world uses day/month/year. Please allow for that option somewhere as a preference for all the dates I see. It's really confusing to non-US people to see 7/1/09 and have to remember that's July 1, 2009 and not 7 January, 2009, which is how non-US people would see that date.
