The American system is kind of weird in some ways, but on the other hand it's just writing it the way we say it out loud. December 12, 2023.

Do Europeans say it out loud the other way since you write it that way? 12 of December, 2023 for example.

Edit: It does sound like basically everyone writes it the way they say it out loud. Language is an interesting thing! Thanks for the insights everyone.
