Why do Americans write the date back to front?

@bowman81 actually... i found the opposite.. men were way more, or at very least as sensitive about their age.. (add that to the male sensitivity re losing their virility!) and I met more than a few who had pics that were at least 10 years out of date.. men tell me women did that too.. so it's at very least even.. tho none of them men or women actually lied about their age..

@Backtoscratch When I write it on checks, on reports, letters, etc. I post October 26, 2019. Always have, and that’s how many of us in the U.S. do it. It’s another insignificant difference in our cultures, I imagine. You’re certainly not changing us, and we’ve no desire to change you. Can’t we just accept each other’s differences and move on ?

@Backtoscratch it is just an youtbe funny video, but okay I end

@Adaydreambeliever hahaa we so are!😝

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Writing 26-Oct-2019 makes it clear which is the month.

@badminton yes-But we always do date month year.

@Backtoscratch It's just less trouble to keep track of. If I run the same report every few days it easy to name it "Report-test-91017" Then next time I run it, all I need to do is back space a few characters and change the date.
