I see your point of view.

However this is very user-unfriendly and really no software does that.

Analogy: if a form accepts a price in euro everyone is expected to type euros
in there. This is valid also for users that live in USA and have dollars as
"system" currency.

The same applies to dates. If a document contains a column of dates formatted
as (DD/MM/YYY), thinking and typing them all in as MM/DD/YYYY is very hard. I'd
say it's almost impossible to do without errors.

Another thing I see now is that it's not consistent. Typing in a date like
21/12/2001 will NOT swap day and month. Very hard to use.
