Pedas can't accept MM/DD/YY date inputs

[jenv]

If I want to enter a date as a slashed-triplet, I must always use DD/MM/YY (30/6/2010). There should be an option to tell a Pedia that you want to enter dates as MM/DD/YY (American standard).

Go into the preferences and set your date format as %m/%d/%y (or %m/%e/%y if you don't want the leading zero for days 1-9).

But that doesn't fix the problem. It shouldn't matter how I input a date. For example, my date format is "%b %d %Y". Since that is my ordering of date elements, a Pedia should be agnostic as to whether I'm entering them as "June 30 2010" or "6/30/2010". What it should manifestly not do is parse "Jun 30 2010" in "%b %d %Y" order while parsing "6/30/2010" in "%d %b %Y" order. Doing the latter is most definitely not what I asked it to do. Do you see the problem?
