Why on earth do you Americans do the date as 7-23-2016?
What a backwards system
It should clearly be on the 23rd day of the 7th month in 2016.

Funnily enough I actually agree with this. I'm personally from Poland and have lived in the UK for 10 years now. The only country I know that uses that system (more so continent) is America/U.S.A. All of Europe and Asia does it DD/MM/YYYY sometimes in certain documents you can get YYYY/DD/MM but it's still DD/MM so why on Earth is America using MM/DD ?!?!?! Someone please explain :'(

The 1st month, the 4th day of that month, and the current year.

4/1/2017
The 4th day of the 1st month, and the current year.
Month then day makes more sense to me.

But it makes more sense like this
