Americans only put their dates in the wrong orderto make it look as if they have a large number of very short months. The rationale behind this is currently unknown, but undoubtedly sinister.

No. They do it because they are backward!

Europeans put their dates backwards to convey the impression that musicians get very sentimentalWhy else would Kylie Minogue play Dublin almost exactly a month apart, one night a month, month after month? What the hell kind of concert tour is that?

It is the Americans who are wrong here.There is no problem with, for example, the Japanese way of listing year, month, day or the European way of listing day, month, year because these are simply listing in order of significance -- the American way is muddled, wrong and hard to deal with.

Hurrah hooray!I totally agree. I can usually cope with the US way of writing dates, so long as the day number is larger than twelve. If it's 1-12 I start having a problem working out which month they're referring to :/
Is there an actual reason to put month, day, year? Or was it random chocie.

it wasn't a random chocie, its just that we're used to saying december 4th, 2001instead of 4th of december, 2011
