Why would we write the date with the month first? Makes no sense at all we start with that day because it is the shortest time period then the month because it is larger then a day and then the year which is self explanatory why you guys do it illiterately I don't know it's a British prerogative I guess.

Edit: I was reading a users reply to another users comment on this thread talking about our only excuse is freedom well that is not factual information that's your opinion also we won our freedom from England lol and at the time England was the strongest country in the world so even if we use that excuse then we do have the right to use that one whenever we feel the need to do so also a lot of English people talk about how Americans eat McDonald's not realizing (I think anyway with the amount of ignorance the English people who usually say this have) that McDonald's is a world wide company so everyone in the world could eat it not just Americans lol weather we are fat or not that's up to the individual I eat McDonald's all the time and I'm far from fat us Americans don't go around talking about how all you guys do is drink tea because we know anyone in the world can drink tea but anyway I'm getting to side tracked just felt the need to get that off my chest.

Edit number 2: another user said Americans have very little freedom in the first place the amount of laughter that caused me is outrageous bruh where are your source I can't begin to think of things we can't do with the exceptions of things that would be illegal to do in any other country. You've guys got to realize I'm not gonna talk all nice about my country because I'm from it but globally we more then likely have the best freedoms we have the best jails as much as us Americans hate jail look at other countries watch the show locked up abroad you will see exactly what I mean also we have a country where you can be born poor and work your way up and sorry I know a lot of people are gonna hate on me for this one but we have the strongest military in the world and not only that we also have the largest money invested into our military.

Ok and I did say I wasn't gonna defend my country because it's my home country so let's look at the bad things well we have a very crooked government system (this does. My apply to our rights and freedoms before someone says because our rights and freedoms are perfectly fine) we have trump as president lol we are the largest dented nation in the world but America is retarded if we didn't provide the welfare system we did now we would probably have a lot more money and there's obviously a lot more but overall America is a pretty good country don't see why it's getting hated on by people who lost a war from it xD we earned our respect so can you please pay it?

Why on earth do you Americans do the date as 7-23-2016?

What a backwards system

It should clearly be on the 23rd day of the 7th month in 2016.
23-7-2016

Ninja wrote Ahh, I have had this discussion before with the foreign exchange student I hosted from Spain.

Celia would always put day, month, then year.

In the US we put the month in the front because it is shorter.

What'd you rather say? The 4th of July or July 4th.

July 4th, 2017.

4th of July, 2017.

You save an "of".

Lol im not sure if that's really the reason why. I could care less tbh.
