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.
Speaking that date format is usually reserved for holidays and special occasions in the US. I.e. 4th of July. You also see that data format written out on things like R.S.V.P invitations to weddings and formal gatherings. Not much else.

Nope. In the UK we never say march 6 or something. Sounds wrong
Well God forbid anyone do anything other than the way the British do it. 🙄
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!
Its intuitive to people used to MM DD YY and unintuitive to everyone else.

Thats because the US is used to MM DD YY thats why the US talks like MM DD YY thats why its intuitive to you to use MM DD YY thats why …
There is no inherent “intuitiveness” to it. Its intuitive if you grew up with it and you use it. It is unintuitive if you didn’t.
Twenty-four november twenty twenty-five works fine too. (dd mm yyyy)
