American dates, why?

What? That they are the wrong way around?

They are the wrong way around on an anglo board.

Also, ordinal numbers do not seem to exist to the likes of Jim Lampley, but I do not know if this is an American problem or just a Jim Lampley problem.

I don't know what the hell you are talking about. Usually, if you want to see how something is done right, see the United States.

Day, month, year makes perfect sense... They are ordered in ascending size.

Month, day, year is chaos!

Stop defending the indefensible.

I feel you on this one, Landing in the states and fill in a blanket for the custom, wait for 45 minutes in line, finally at the counter, Custom guy/girl telling you put in the dates wrong, ending up last in line.....
