A simple one is below... it's the one that I used
the second time around (when I discovered the error).

No easy way around that one. It's coded as M/D/Y
(per US standard). Someone is more than welcome to
make it configurable via a setting, or you could
make it give up totally with this case and return
the current date. In any case, the goal is to
have "some" operable date go into the system. When
the user refreshes the date will come back wrong
and they have a chance to fix it... after having
dates come back wrong, they will start to spell
out the months.
