        Want some help? It’s intuitive to say month date year out loud. So that’s how we write it down too. Today is November 24th 2025 (11/24/25)

        Here’s another point about the US date system I quite enjoy, the number go in order of lowest maximum integer to greatest maximum integer. The highest the month can go is 12 which is smaller than 31 which is smaller than theoretically infinite. But that’s probably not why we do it. I just like that thought.

              Out of responses?
              Your (very condescending) point was that “we” say things in a specific way and that should be aligned with how it’s written.

              No need to lash out at Britain for giving a counterexample in the English speaking world.

              Have a good day!
