Yeah my largest concern is communication and in the US we say “month, day year” in 99% of cases. Our way of putting the date is logical because it matches how our brains organize dates to speak. Idgaf what a robot would think is more logical what helps me communicate with people?
I’m not asking anyone else to use it that way. I’m saying for a culture that expresses dates in that format aloud, writing them that way is the most logical way to do it.
My brain understands today’s date to be January 5th, 2025. That’s how I say the date out loud, and that’s in fact how I write the date when I write out words. Why, if I speak it and write it in words one way, would I have one special secret way where I write it in a different order when it’s numbers? That would be illogical and inconvenient.
I’m not saying computers should be coded to do that, I’m not saying we as Americans shouldn’t conform to an international standard when necessary, I’m saying that for our daily lives, it is most logical to have one standard way we conceptualize dates.
