100% tariff on the MM/DD/YY date format.
@Natasha_Jay a 100% tariff will just turn that into MMMM/DDDD/YYYY. Welcome to 0001/0019/2026
(I understand you don’t pay tariffs with the product being tariffed, it’s a joke)

@Natasha_Jay And expressing quantities in cups!
No... 150% for that!
@davetansley @Natasha_Jay Americans will standardise a cup size to avoid using metric.
Checks notes...
Oh, they already have.

@Natasha_Jay I was once bitten by code which interpreted data entered in DD/MM/YYYY as MM/DD/YYYY unless DD > 12 in which case it fell back to DD/MM/YYYY. What a mess.

@jgrg
Someone was trying to be overly clever there I sense...@Natasha_Jay It was a web form where I'd specified the date to be in YYYY-MM-DD format, but unbeknownst to me there was a clever JavaScript helper function built into the system by Americans. (I filed a bug report and got it fixed.)

Date entry on the web is generally a mess. European sites that insist on MM/DD/YY, for example.
There's one well-known collaboration product that quite happily allows you to enter YYYY-MM-DD - and even displays what you enter correctly on the little drop-down calendar - but rejects it when you submit the form. -

@Natasha_Jay Not sure if that's enough. I'd say we need to invoke the trade bazooka in this case.

@Natasha_Jay "I used to not be political until the radical left started forcing DD/MM/YY down our throats, now for some reason I have strong opinions on the value of an ethnically diverse society."

@Natasha_Jay ISO 8601 or bust.
@JessTheUnstill @Natasha_Jay after screwing it up a couple times, I had an Australian colleague say "Big to small!"
I've never made a mistake with 8601 again
