FCC allows users (hosts) to set their Country, their Time zone, and their Language.
It would be good to either use this information to tweak the date format, or else to explicitly let the host choose their preferred date format.

All dates on the website are in “western” format, month/date/year. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to change this display

etc.
For most English-speaking users having even just the above two options would be sufficient in the context of this application.
