That date system confuses me, especially up to the twelfth day of any given month. For example, my birthday is on April 7th, not on Independence Day (7/4 and 4/7 respectively for me, the other way round for you). But that is another topic.

I hate the American date system with a passion. It's inconsistent. The British system is consistent with the length of the units added, whereas the American system is only consistent with speech.

That's why everyone should just use the international standard ISO 8601 format (2015-06-27) in writing. It sorts properly too.

Ditto.

I always write dates like 2015 / 06 / 27 (YYYY/MM/DD) OR 27 May 2015 (DD/MM/YYYY)

The American date system has always made sense to me, but then I tend to think of the Month/Day combo as a unit naming the day and the year as an adjective describing which year the day was in.
