Yes please!
I'm sick and tired of people arguing that you put the month first because "That's how you say it".

Today is the Thirteenth of May, not May 13.
I prefer dd/mm/yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd though, just to keep what is usually the most important information at the front.
1) Sorting the string representations sorts in time order.
2) It eliminates ambiguity almost completely, because extremely few places use YYYY-DD-MM. The ambiguity of most ##/##/## dates is irritating.
Besides, often when you write dates you leave the year off entirely.
No ambiguity, easy to parse and 3-letter month is natural delimiter between day and year numbers.
