In what way is the MDY you write about any different from the YDM in the screenshot? The important thing, that they're in random order, is the same for both, right?
And as for spoken language, it's not like any normal person would say "September fifteenth" now, is it?
Turns out people in different countries and regions say the date differently as well. I find it funny how everyone always assumes their experience is the universal one.
September Fifteenth and Fifteenth of September are both commonly used depending where you are in the world.
they are not in a random order they are in the same order as when spoken in proper American english
and yes normal people do say September fifteenth none of this fifteen September British nonsense
Literally nobody in Britain says 'fifteen September'...
True we say 15th September, not 15 September
