You are trying to apply what you know versus what others know. No different than Farenheit vs Celsius or Yard vs Meter.
Personal, the MM/DD/YYYY format, that is stander in the USA, needs to die and be replaced with YYYY-MM-DD.
Same with 12 hour time and replacing it with 24 hour. As the saying goes l, Americans use am and pm because they can't count past 12. AM and PM are a waste of code and display area. What fits in 2 characters takes up 5 characters.
No excuse for the date, but I get the 12/24 hour clock. 12h feels more natural when spoken. Where I'm from, we speak in 12h but always write down 24h. You'll see "20:00" written down, but you'll say "8 in the evening". We don't use am/pm, though.
