Why do Americans write dates wrong*?
The month first? Seriously?
You are the only ones who do this and it is so confusing to the rest of the world!
Are you trying to be intentionally confusing?
* You are the only ones to exclusively use this format.

11 RepliesEdited by Gravy Train: 5/9/2016 10:35:52 AMI justify it with a simple question. If I ask you in person, "when is your birthday?" how do you reply? Most would say "April fifth" "October eighteenth" Etc. Same goes with other questions. When is Christmas? December 25th. When does Battlefield 1 release? October 21st, 2016. Most people answer month first then day. Its quicker than saying "the fifth of April" or "the 25th of December" or "the 21st of October, 2016" You probably do it without realizing. This is probably not the real reason why but it's how I justify it. We write like we talk and we definitely don't talk properly.

We also don't use the metric system

Why not? The historic origins of the difference are unclear. But logically, one is no better than the other. USUALLY in everyday life, month is most important, then date, with year generally being assumed as this year or next year when giving a specific date. For example, if today you ask when some personally important event will happen (stock vests, trip to Hawaii, mother in law's birthday), the month will probably be the most important part of the answer, then the date. The year will probably be assumed as 2016 or 2017 depending on the month. There are many cases when this is not true, but it is probably the most common case when listing a full date. If someone asks you when a monthly bill is due, you will probably say only the date ("the 20th"), if someone asks when your young child will graduate high school, you will probably say only the year ("2026").
