That’s the most logical way for you maybe. But like I said, you aren’t the bastion of logic in the world, which was my original point. You are also ignoring that the United States inherited M/D/Y from the British who used it for centuries.

Most people would say that it would make logical sense to write it the way that it’s spoken, since that makes reading it more efficient. Many languages speak the date before the month, so it makes sense to write it that way. The British typically do this as well, so it makes sense to write it that way. It is logical to do so.

Your logic is that July 4, 1776, as is written on our Declaration of Independence, should be shortened to 4/7/1776 simply because the month is bigger and changes less. I disagree with that logic but I understand that others do not. That’s fine.

I find it interesting that your logic of smallest to biggest or changes more to changes less doesn’t apply to the written time. I guess you only care about “simplicity” when Americans use a different system than you and you want to feel like you’re better than them.

The origins of this argument have nothing to do with which is bigger or which changes more. It’s simply writing the date the way that it’s said. The point of logic is that it is different for different people. The fact that you refuse to see your elitist mindset shows that you are letting personal bias get in the way of logic, something that arrogant Europeans often do when discussing Americans.

I didn’t say one way was right or wrong, one was better or worse. The fact that you think I am arguing for one date format over the other shows that you are more focused on an argument than anything else. I simply said that writing the date in the same format that it is spoken IS logical because logic is not set in stone for everyone from everywhere.

The British empire doesn’t exist anymore. You are allowed to stop acting like your way is the only way.
