minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoThe way I see it, the US just writes it the way it’s spoken. “August 9th, 2023” vs. “the 9th of August, 2023”.

minus-square@teuniac_link7•1 year agoThat also doesn’t make a lot of sense though, does it. In my language, the day comes first. Also when spoken.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoYeah, but in proper English, as spoken in England, we would say “9th of August, not August the 9th”

Just like the comment above mine wrote it
