All but two of my clients are in the US, but on the reports and dates I use the format dd MMM ccyy e.g. 07 Mar 2007. It winds the yanks up a little bit, but there is no long term confusion.
On one chart I have MMM yy. I had one of the little darlings saying that the chart time axis ordering was wrong because I had something like Dec 05, Jan 06, ...., Dec 06, Jan 07. I just laughed at him and then he realised it was a monthly chart. You could hear him going red over the phone.

Why do the yanks use that format? To me it is just not logical. I mean, dd/mm/yyyy is obvious as each bit covers a larger chunk of time than the bit which came before it.

July 22 (22/7 in some date formats, a popular approximation of pi)
The second date is in the format used almost everywhere outside the US and Japan, so it is describe as "some date formats". Yes, just a few.
