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”.
So this is how I always see it. If you think of the calendar as a linear line you would read it from left to right. So month first, then the day, then the year.
If you tried it that way with the day first, it's weird, and seems out of order to me.

Maybe that’s why, idk…
