...and there is not a single reason for doing so ("That's how I learned it" does not count).

US military used the day month year standard.

That one actually drove me nuts when I had an American client at a job once! Not as much as having to send Americans text documents though. That happened at another job previously. They don't use A4 and I had to convert everything into their weird "letter" format.

As an American I simply do not understand our use of MMDDYYYY, nor our fixation on not using the MKS system.

HOW DARE YOU WE WILL RAID YOU OF ALL YOUR OIL FBI SCKREEEEEEEEE

Japan is yyyymmdd lol.

I’m the only kid in my class who uses YY/M/D. It’s annoying having to explain every time.

Shut up before we invade you aand steal your oil.

So why does the UK get it foisted upon us? It just doesn’t make sense to do it that way. Think of the teachers and the blackboard, and all that wasted chalk, instead of just rubbing out the first two digits most days!

when actual citizens get to decide which system they use. We can use yours, can you use ours?

I actually had to look at this for a second before I figured out what the "mmddyyyy" was, and I live in America.

Population 350 million.

I filled out a hospital form today that had that format. MMDDYYYY and I usually write it DDMMYY

Ya know, the world is quite big enough for differences and if we are happy with it who are you to complain about it?

Except the military. We use ddmmyyy

South African Home Affairs also uses this format

we still use that date format in majority but in formal or in corporate we use ddmmyyyy format.

I like to use day/month/year and I'm American.

People keep telling me to be unique.

Yup, our national holiday is July of 4th.

But more and more celebrate 4/20 by smoking marijuana and 3/14 by creating π memes.

Why should we always follow the sheep?
