You got that right. The stupid mm/dd/yyyy order is something I never use, not even if the expected recipients were used to it, no matter where I type dates. Because it makes no sense whatsoever. With the decimal mark a dot is just as good as a comma; there's absolutely no difference in logical value. But in that mixed date order I fail to see any reason. It's either dd.mm.year or year.mm.dd (or whatever you use to separate them from each other, a dot is used over here - that variation doesn't really bother me at all). It's either from the smallest unit (day) to the largest (year) or from the largest to the smallest if better by year ordering is required (like in folder names).
