And the only time they use the proper date format is their national holiday.

If you mean dd-mm-yyyy instead of mm-dd-yyyy, I’d agree it’s superior. That said, other countries have us both with their fully ISO compliant yyyy-mm-dd standard.

Best for record keeping.

Who certifies the "proper" format? Im fairly sure it isnt dd-mm-yy

The US date format makes sense in the US. In a culture where days blur together endlessly in an endless slog of creating value for shareholders, the month is more important information than the day.
