Getting really sick of wasting my time -- having to change to a date format (in Calc) that works -- FOR ME. Very frustrating!
Calc seems to default to YYYY-MM-DD.
Why can't users choose a default date format? 
I need MM-DD-YY as default!
I don't want to go back to Microsoft, but I WILL ditch LO Calc for (dread the thought) MS Excel -- if I must.
