Since when do Cowboys and Packers fans use almost everywhere except America date formatting?

Jay Riall,

Thanks for your insight. Its always cool for me to see the insight of someone with a differing viewpoint. I greatly respect your ability to explain your thoughts and views in a cool and collected manner. Let me ask you: I'm assuming that the reason USA uses month/day/year is because thats how we talk when we say it out loud. For example I would say "Today is December 12th, 2009." In other countries, do they actually say the day before the month? If so, that'd explain a lot. Again, thanks for your honesty, compassion, caring, and insight. Take care, friend.

Love,
Assani

To answer your question, yes. All the languages based on Latin do.

le sept Novembre, 1993 (French)
cinco de Mayo, 2007 (Spanish)

for example...

Not to mention I do this in English maybe half the time anyway.

"When's Christmas going to be this year?"
"25th of December, just like every year, fool."

"When's Caeser getting whacked?"
"Ides of March, obv"

Still can't tell if Assani got owned very hard on his sarcasm or if he really is the most courteous guy ever.
