Come to Switzerland, and you will see most date written in the form dd/mm/yyyy
or dd/yy/mm. It is completely common to use this way to write a date where I
live.
For me it is obvious that it should be a Libreoffice parameter, since in the
same country, different people will use different way to write a date.
Personally, I write the date : 20200630 (yyyymmdd).
