Why do Americans put the month before the day?
Days go into months and months go into years, so DD/MM/YEAR makes more sense.

Because you say June 18th, not 18th June. Lol.

No I don't. I would say 18th of June and so would everyone who isn't American. Christmas is 25th of December not December of 25th.

Edit
Just looked it up the US is literally the only country in the world to use MDY, the vast majority use same system as UK DMY and the Chinese, Japanese etc use YMD. A couple of countries use more than 1 system.

It's not December of 25th. It's just December 25th.

Ha so several billion people are wrong and the US is right. Remember all these countries had calandars before the Americas was even found. Since the US is the only country in the world to use MM/DD/YY it's definitely you that is doing it wrong.
Did you looks at the map? The majority of the world use DD/MM/YY

reply

Actually, even the U.S. military uses Day / Month / Year. I'm not sure why us civilians in America use Month / Day / Year.

reply

Different military documents have different formats, but on DD forms, like the DD-214 everyone gets when they get out, it's month/day/year

reply

I'm a Canadian living in the US, I always use day month year. It's mean but I get a kick out of the confusion. Still not as much fun as using 'zed' though :)

Nope, she's younger. Many years ago, Emily was outed as being born in 1988.
