There are the fewest number of possibilities for month (12), the next fewest number of possibilities for day (28-31), then the largest number of possibilities for years (2016+).

We write the date in multiple formats depending on the occasion. Doing homework? You may write 4/26/16. Signing a contract? It may say "on this 26th day of April, 2016."

Re-read what you just said.

"Hey Tyler/Corey/Chad, what's the date today?"

"The 26th of April"

The date of the month you're in makes way more sense than month first. Everyone already knows it's April you fucking pleb...

Fucking Americans..

month is a more relevant piece of information. if you are looking at a list of dates its more efficient to list the month first since thats the first thing your eye sees.

This. A date system with the months in front of the days because there's less units is the equivalent of digital clock with the hours in front of the minutes because there's only 24 hours in a day but 60 minutes.

I used to do this until I started browsing /pol/ and watching Nazi documentaries. Now putting 4th May, 2016 is much better sounding than May 4th, 2016. It makes me feel as if though I am organizing a Panzer assault on that day.

In every day use, month is the most relevant information so it goes first.
Day is the 2nd most relevant.
Year is the 3rd.

It's in order of importance.
>>
>>72118145
This. When the system was first instituted, month was vastly more important due to harvesting seasons and such, and it still continues to mean more than the exact day.
>>
>>72115565
This fucking broken diagram makes it look as though there are 12 months in a day and 30 days in a year.
>>
>DD/MM/YYYY
>shortest length of time/next longest/longest length of time

you get the most relevant information first: which day it is, then which month, then which year. this is the only logical date format.
>>
>>72118728
day isn't most relevant
for instance why do i care what exact day i made a payment. i care what month not what day

Month is far more relevant. Unless you already know what month it is, someone telling you that it's the "22nd" is worthless and communicates almost nothing, since there are 12 different "22nd"s in a year, all more or less evenly spaced out.

Presumably slipping into a coma is obviously a lot more prevalent in America than it is in first world countries.

>>72117803

This is the most fucking annoying format, as with the year at the end I can quickly guess if it's either DD/MM or MM/DD but with the year at the front I don't know if it's going to be YY/DD/MM or YY/MM/DD if it's unlucky enough to be less than 12 days into a given month.
>>
>>72120590
Who the fuck even uses YY/DD/MM anyhow?

And who the fuck is red-pilled enough to use year-in-front but cucked enough to use only 2 digits for the year?

If I see the year first, I know that whoever wrote it was sensible enough to understand the concept of significant digits, and what follows are the month and day.
