The way I see it, the US just writes it the way it's spoken. "August 9th, 2023" vs. "the 9th of August, 2023".

That also doesn't make a lot of sense though, does it. In my language, the day comes first. Also when spoken.

No, the US just chose this order and speaks it the same way. I don't speak it this way, you're just used to it (just like everyone is to the way they speak it)
6 1 ReplyYeah, but in proper English, as spoken in England, we would say "9th of August, not August the 9th"
