As an American, same. I was wondering where the weird month-first came from and figured it might have been verbal first, then codified in writing.

- irrational 4y agoAt first I wondered if it had something to do with word order in English, but it sounds like other English speaking countries don’t follow this pattern.
- Tagbert 4y agoDon’t currently “follow this pattern”. US English has several grammatical and pronunciation characteristics that were common in UK English about 300 years ago. Including being largely (but not totally) rhotic.
