Ahh, the American way... I just don't get why they have to arrange
everything differently than the rest of the world...
I know that the reason they give for this is that the months only reach 12,
so they are the lowest and there fore go first, days of the month reach
around 30, so they go next, and the year just keeps going up forever (or
does it?!?!), so it's last...
Never mind the fact that it's more common in everyday thought to wonder what
DAY of the MONTH it is... The emphasis is added to show that in the English
language, we naturally put the day before the month, because the number
changes every day. The month changes once a month, and the year (funnily
enough) once a year. Thus, they are ordered in the most logical fashion.
If American clocks were designed in the same fashion as their calendars,
they would read half past eleven pm in military time as 30:23 am... that
doesn't make any sense what so ever, so why do the date that way?
Outlandish!
why do I care? I don't particularly... I'm just having a gripe about
standards...

The LEAST changing number comes first for Americans,
in our calendars AND our clocks!
month>day = hour>minute

Which would be consistent to YYYY-MM-DD and not
MM-DD-YYYY, so the other way DD-MM-YYYY is
more consistent and consequent.

But surely the year is the least changing number in dates? After all it only
changes once per 365/6 days...
