Us Americans do use "Month DD, YYYY" quite frequently, so I don't think that his usage of it is done purposefully.

- sliverstorm 14y agoIndeed. MM/DD/YY is used informally and for datapoints (e.g. the Date field when you sign a form), but any time you are writing formally (e.g. a letter) you use Month DD, YYYY. It's almost like MM/DD/YY is the abbreviation of "Month DD, YYYY"
- moe 14y agoXX/XX/YY is a terrible format and I wish people would stop using it. 01/02/03 can be January 2nd or February 1st, and often there's not enough context to determine which was meant.
