A Calendar is YYYY (big on front cover), then Month (or vice versa) and boxes for the days. But they vary by country. Different holidays and languages.
Some start week on Sunday and some on Monday. I think a calendar is irrelevant to writing dates. Not sure how calendar is MM-YYYY-DD and US is MM-DD-YYYY is "close".
AFIAK only the US is MM DD YYYY, the rest of the world is either dd mm yyyy or ISO format or both.
Everyone likes best what they are familiar with. The UK uses lots of stuff not used in the EU or non-EU Europe.
