    IMO, the only logical part of the American date system is that it’s the same way you would say it (July 1st 2023).

    Since English is my second language, though, and in French you would say 1er Juillet 2023, it still fucks me up anytime a date is like 10/10/2023.

      I mean ppl say 4th of July even for the independence of united states, not very independent of the metric system. XD

        Well the date format isn’t ‘metric’. It’s actually a little worse since it’s consistently bad, vs the US format which is inconsistently bad.
