American date format

Why does Lichess use the American style MM/DD/YYYY date format?

Just curious

Agreed. Change this crap, please Lichess!

English language defaults to US date format. I agree it's not the most logical one there is. I'll add an option for that.

Doesn't en-US local default to this format but not en-GB?

Awesome, I look forward to using "Japanese" date formatting:
