I've often wondered at American logic re the presentation of dates as -
month-day-year.  I can understand : day-month-year, and its reverse of :
year-month-day, because these show a progression from smallest unit to
largest, or vice versa.  But month-day-year?  Or is it just that the US has
to be different from everyone else?
"On the eleventh day of the ninth month, in the year of Our Lord two
thousand and one...."
