It does make sense to write it Day/Month/Year, because Day<Month<Year. But America writes it like we say it, today is June 12th, 2015 so 6/12/15. Also it's not our fault as Americans that we are taught this, this is part of a curriculum that is taught to us when we are too young to know any better. You only make yourself look like a self centered ignorant prick by bashing Americans for something they literally have no control over. Once again, it is a select few bozos that comment about the date making us Americans look bad, when there were probably 100s of Americans who saw the date understood it and went on and never left a comment.
