Are you sure? Maybe for Visual Basic proper, but I thought the VBA date literal basically followed Excel date parsing rules, so was localized depending on your office inatall.

Apparently I'm misremembering: https://www.engram9.info/excel-2007-vba-2/date-literals.html

Still, this violates the principle of least surprise for non-american developers, at least, so seems pretty on brand for VB.
