I wonder if we should add this to best practice just for memory sake. I know we've talked about it before but we have enough people doing social now that the best practices can serve a bit as the institutional memory. It's a date format used really "only" in the US and so should really avoided (Other ways to adjust include spelling out months/using short month names "nov" etc.
