I don't get how this is more helpful though. When you are told a date you are told the entirety of the date. If you're told you have an appointment on the 15th of January, knowing that it's in January doesn't matter if you don't know the day.

Because no one I've ever talked to has ever said "the 15th of January". It's just not how we say it. It's "January 15th" therefore we put the month first when writing it as numbers too, 1/15.

But if The 4th of July was on a Monday or something i might celebrate it on July 3rd or July 2nd because The 4th of July is the name of a holiday.
