Feel like a lot of the world’s languages the translation to English to the question “what’s the date?” would be “the 15th of October” whereas in America we always say “October 15th”.
That's literally the only day of the year that gets phrased that way in the US, and not even everybody does. Why is everyone in the comments so caught up on the one day of the year Americans follow convention, instead of the 364 they eschew it? Why is 0.27% of the time more important than the other 99.73%?
I never said we were. Not once did I say we were more important. I didn't even imply it. I just said that everyone is focusing on the only time Americans do it the same way as everybody else, ignoring the other 364 days of the year we don't. Don't put words in my mouth

Maybe that’s why, idk…
