Let's not make this a US vs. Euro thing. I remember earlier discussions on the Julian/Gregorian transition where some remarks made me think the usual switch in 1582 had to be avoided because it was originally decreed by the Pope. I always thought the world had overcome this kind of sentiments. Today we have international standards like the mentioned ISO 8601. If I understand it correclty, it declares the Gregorian calendar as mandatory (and optional for dates before 15 Oct 1582).

ISO 8601 also states the way calendar dates are written: yyyy-mm-dd. Maybe this could become the one and only standard for the 31s and 34s as well. This way a number of commands could be removed. As well as the m.dy indicator that's so annoying for the users beyond the big pond, or the y.md for those in the Far East. A calculator solely based on internationally agreed standards - wouldn't this be a great idea?
