So what? No reasonable person would be confused by an ISO date, especially in the US, where month already precedes the date in the numeric notations, and either way, you can't make a mistake which number is the year when you use 4 digit years.
And I would not buy any arguments that banks could possibly afford to hire complete idiots as staff, so, I don't see any problem with using ISO8601 when drawing a free-form cheque in the US. I never had a problem even in a small town local bank in North Carolina. |

Today is a special date, my friend Constantine, even if not in ISO.
As you know, 12/12/12 and we will have to wait 88 years for 01/01/01.
I won't be alive then; you conceivably might be.
So I raise a toast to you.  |
