The US? Metric? Maybe in science but think back to the recent lost satellite that was caused by an error between standard and metric because metric was assumed by everyone except the vendor for a part. If the red on that image is supposed to be countries that use metric then someone is pulling your leg. Invert the colours and you might get countries that use metric.
Personally, I think that the dates should be standardized to YY/MM/DD. It makes sense to show general to most specific. Look at mailing addresses and you see the same issue. Country on the last line when maybe it should be first?
