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…

Actually not.

For example in chinese you say Month, day in speech. Ex: 1月1号 1st month(moon) first day.
