Why do Americans write the date back to front?

2019/09/04 instead of 04/09/2019.

@Backtoscratch It is where you live....over here, September 4th.
🤪…. It seems that unless the day and month numbers coincided one of us would be very early or late to a meeting.

@Backtoscratch What difference would it make women all lie about their age anyway. 😂

@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 and I met more than a few who had pics that were at least 10 years out of date..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..
