Since Americans habitually use month-day order anyway, why would YYYY-MM-DD
be especially difficult for them? It's Europeans and others who typically
use day-month order that would seem likely to incur difficulties -- except
that putting the year first is a pretty glaring clue that the order shouldn't
be regarded as it usually is for them.
Since this thread is about making things clearer, I would comment on your use
of the word "Americans". Americans means everyone in North and South America.
I suspect what is meant here, is just the USA.
