    How is a lack of magnitude order objectively wrong? A date format is ultimately a language feature, and the US format successfully transmits the needed info just fine within its natural context.

    It may seem objective from your perspective, but language is used in many more contexts than those you are familiar with.

      Because the English language has no set order to express the 1st of January.

      Time lengths are objective, the way we talk about the fifth of November is not.
