Go to a REAL country that has some logic.

Month Day Year makes sense to me because I feel  like it's on order of importance when finding out when something happened. Like a month is used a lot to estimate things when you don't know when. Like early june, middle of june, or late june. I feel like it's used most for giving dates. Then days are used, they give you no idea of how long until something is unless it's in a short time period. Finally a year is the broadest term for identifying a date, it's only used for very broad scales.

This might make no sense and be my way of justifying month/day/year but really how is it confusing to use, and why would we bother switching. It's not like metric system where it actually has benefits, just people bitching they're superior with their stuffty date formats.

yeah thats some nice logic right there

9/6/13 motherforgeters, wait until the 6th of September

Not to mention I'm not used to a D/M/Y style, you would have to say Nine, June Two Thousand Thirteen.

Which doesn't sound correct to me.

you would have to say Nine, June Two Thousand Thirteen.
you would only say this if you have a mental issue
you would say "The 9th of June, Two Thousand and Thirteen"
At least know what you're talking about before you spew random bullstuff

June ninth -two syllables
The ninth of June -four syllables

Double the syllables for the same concept.

Efficiency man.

Americans read dates dumb.

I made a poll, you guys decide what it should be.

hey look it's june 9th
me

saying 5'10" is easier than saying like 178cm or whatever when describing your own height
a kilometer is much too small
like devildoge said it's more convenient to say dates the way we do
and what the forget's with kilograms
like, how can you describe something less? would you use grams too? dekagrams? hectograms?
pounds and ounces is more convenient tbh

taking a linear mathematical approach isn't always the best way when it comes to convenience
maybe all the properness is the reason why brits are stuck up cunts most of the time >:)
