I hate these date formats. I wish folks would use the iso standard YYYY-MM-DD

Agreed.

However YYYY-MM-DD is symmetric to DD-MM-YYYY ...

Dash positions say otherwise
Yeah, when I read a date and try to make sense of it I try below- but also often not correct:

. == day month year

/ == month day year

- == year month day

I don't understand what you are trying to say. YYYY-MM-DD is the reverse of DD-MM-YYYY and the other way round.
