I use yyyymmdd in notes, labels and file names now as it means the same inside USA and outside (ISO layout). Also works for sorts.
I do like the idea of adding 10,000 to AD/CE years so as it's religion/culture independent and covers all of human history since agriculture.
Holocene Calendar.

There is a 2038 issue on some applications and OSes.
Actually, both MM-DD-YY and DD-MM-YY are bad ideas. The best way to do dates is YYYY-MM-DD. That should be worldwide. And no more YY. It has to be YYYY.
