    Exactly. It’s also spoken in that order for that reason. At least in the languages I know. If I ask you for the date and you start with 2026, I’ll be a litte confused.

      Must be a regional thing, because around here it’s MM-DD-YYYY spoken.

        I think it’s “May 15” in spoken English? It would be “15th May” in Swedish and Farsi for instance.

        Therefore: Swedish, Farsi > English

          Some people do use “15th of May” in English, but it’s not as common around here.
