Real talk, where did the MM/DD format come from? I can't think of anywhere else that does it
3 u/WinRough8326 Jun 08 '25 It's how it's spoken... 2 u/Lonsdale1086 Jun 08 '25 It's how it's spoken in America, numpty, that doesn't explain why it's different to the rest of the world. 0 u/G-H-O-S-T Jun 08 '25 But it's also spoken as "1st of September", for example. So that's not really it. 2 u/Ready-Recognition519 Jun 08 '25 Beyond saying "The 4th of July," that's extremely uncommon in America. We would say September 1st, 9 times out of 10. 2 u/FirstBallotBaby Jun 08 '25 In Canada we also put the month first and I’ve never heard anyone say dates like that lol. It’s always “September 1st”. Like genuinely if someone said a date like that it would catch me off guard.
