I don't know, it's what I was taught and it's what people around me are using. I didn't ask to be taught it and I didn't ask others to use it. I know it's not convenient, and I know it's not logical but I can't do anything about it. Yeah yeah we're all stupid and arrogant. Whatever. Leave me alone.

I have no argument for the stupid measuring system we use here.
Your point doesn't make sense as well. I think the most valuable information in a date is the day, because it actually changes, well...everyday? And thus should be given first. At least that is my opinion, but yet, still a better way rather than MM - DD - YYYY.
