How come Americans display dates as month then day???

Amricans use English but call it American language, they use dates, but use it wrong way and call it American style.\n\nAll the other countries use dates like 1st January 2007 etc, but Americans will say January 1st 2007. A bit wierd if I personally say so, my own view.

Try setting the LCID to 2057, the British code.\n\n<%session.lcid=2057%>\n\nThis should work for asp.net and only needs one line to function. Works for the currency markers and everything else that is region specific.\n\n(It seems alot of people have been asking where to use this code. I found it works when entered anywhere above where you want to utilise any date procedures/output. Personally I always put it as the second line in my init file, after the language declaration)

Whatever and why is not the point, the fact that they do is damned annoying. The most logical way is day month year because it's in the order of how it changes....easy!

I think it's June 6th, 2006.  Nothing more.  Kinda like Jan. 1, 2000 was.  Our dates and any number associated with them are pretty much arbitrary.

Because they had to balance a year in a year. If February would have more days, then there'd be more days than a year can hold! I mean, yeah, they could take days out of other months for February, but what would that solve? Nothing. Months are grouped occurding to their season.

The person above was correct since there are different time zones for different places in the USA.\n\nHere is a site with a map with the current times and the zones:\n\nhttp://www.worldtimezone.com/

The format the Americans use is called middleendian. England originally used day, month, year, then for a while used month, day, year, and finally the original form (day, month, year) was revived around 1900. Canada officially uses the big endian convention, but all three conventions are used in practice.

same reason the U.S. won't change measuring systems. We like what we know. Someone once told me that the U.S. and Sri Lanka are the only countries that use our measuring system, yet it appears on nearly everything. As long as you coddle us and let us have our way we'll keep doing it.\n\nI'd never seen yyyy-mm-dd before. We use the mm/dd/yy system in the US and I'd seen dd/mm/yy in my Spanish classes (which was very confusing the first time I saw it because it was talking about october 11 which I read as november 10.)

Very good question.  Because of conventions.  A country has a certain time zone that geographically would correspond to its neighbor, for commercial reasons.  So they "adopt" a certain time zone, the one "next door".  Or one same region or country cannot have two time zones, so they unify it in one time zone and then the line is not straight.
