“The month–day–year (MDY) format (like September 6, 2025) is called the U.S. date format or American date format because it’s primarily used in the United States and a few other countries.”
Also it’s obviously that format because 9/11
911 that date was a deliberate mockery of America and that is the reason that date specifically was chosen if you use any other format it completely ignores history and lore of the 9/11 event.
I agree this is a confusing date* but using literally anything else in this context is completely oblivious to the events that went on.
*Of course if an entire society has said that this is the date we are going to use then that would make any other date as confusing as any other date despite some arbitrary numerical order.
I fully expected in big font underneath:
9/11/01
What happened on November 9th 2001? Some sort of beach monster?
An extremely American event that should obviously get an American date, and you should get called out if you don’t put it in an American format.
It’s not “an American date”, it’s just a date format (that belongs to whoever is stupid enough to want to use it)
