How about March Fourteenth as "American PI-Day" and 22.07. as "international, sensible and widely understood PI-Day", each according to the used date format?

A third excuse for pi, you say? I think it suits it.

22/07 is already known as "Pi Approximation Day"

"widely understood" maybe in certain circles hehe

Imagine acting superior about a date format.

No need for acting when the (non-US) date format is superior

DD-MM-YYYY is better, but still causes issues. ISO 8601 though, now that's a superior format.
