This. The use of dashes here is a bit annoying IMO ...

Not sure if this is standard but I usually see the delimiter being used to define the date format: big-endian y-m-d uses dashes, middle-endian m/d/y uses slashes, and d.m.y little-endian uses dots.

No. Pretty much every separator / order combination is in regular use.

See the table under “Listing” at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
