No international date formatting options?

Our company is UK based. It doesn't seam that I can change the date format even though all the region/time zone information is set to the UK.

Everywhere I have looked its showing that this is not a feature that the CRM is capable of? It is crazy to me that there isn't an option to see the date in your local format. That seams such an elementary and fundamental account setting. This could easily create so much margin for error when it comes to invoicing, assigning tasks, and reporting on pipeline. The CRM is meant to make life easier not harder!
