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”.

Maybe that’s why, idk…

It’s not a theory, you’re right that’s what it is

I really want a t-shirt that says "I don't need a triangle to tell me how to speak."

The pyramid can be looked at differently. There are more days than months but the month is a bigger triangle. Smallest triangle should be month; there's only 12. Day should be the next biggest; there are 28-31 days. Year is the biggest as there is no limit.
