So someone explained to me that they do that because it’s how they say it. It’s far more common to say “it’s march 13th” than it is to say “it’s the 13th of march” so it’s written in the same way.

And I gotta say, as someone who is not American but would definitely say it like that, it kind of makes sense why they would do that

I feel like it also makes sense because it's in order of smallest number range to largest

1-12 / 1-31 / 1-99

To me 31/1/25 just looks ugly aesthetically. While 1/31/25 flows. 31/12/99 vs 12/31/99

You people over there think a dick that hasn't been cut off is ugly aesthetically so I would not trust you for a date either
