That's only because you write dates in the wrong way.

YYYY-MM-DD makes sense. Alphabetic order will put dates in chronological order.

DD-MM-YYYY is a little less useful but still makes sense. Ordered from small to big.

But MM-DD-YYYY? That's just silly.

When you see Ax, can you pick him up and drive him back, too? He's been out there for awhile.

We Americans write like we talk.
We say “March seventeen,” so we write “3/17”.
Some (not all) of us say “March first” rather than “March one,” but still we write “3/1” rather than “3/1st”.

[George K]

@axtremus doesn’t the US military do it differently?

So March 17, 2021 would be 17 March, 2021?

It’s also an ambigram, meaning it reads the same upside down too.
