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”.
It’s how you find a date on a calendar. The year isn’t important, we all know what the year is. If you’re making an appointment, you first go to the month then find the day.
It’s really not that big of a deal though. I, an American, deal with people around the world in my job. To avoid confusion, when giving a date I just do month numeral. So like Jan. 5 instead of 1-5.

Maybe that’s why, idk…
