Maybe it's a good time to think about switching to unabiguous iso formats. I
much prefer the unambiguous, sortable, big-endian date format, and 24 hour
days that each have 24 hours in them 100% numerically, two formats which can
be combined into one accurate and sortable string of digits with a single
decimal to segregate calendar from clock.

Maybe try en_DK for a while?
