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.
In Russia we absolutely say “12th of December, 2023”.
12 декабря 2023.
Shouldn’t there be a года at the end?
Yep, in Dutch we’d say “het is 12 December 2023”. When talking about dates I also say “it’s the 12th of December 2023” in English, but that’s probably a bit weird for English speakers.
It’s not weird, it’s correct
I still use imperial and other US standards because I was born here and have never lived anywhere else 😎
