Yeah 2018/09/06 is definitely preferable to the mix mash we get from our US friends ;)

Standardised for computers lol.

Make sorting folders/files easy

That may have been one consideration, but not all. Wikipedia says the most important consideration: "to avoid misinterpretation of numeric representations of dates and times, particularly when data are transferred between countries with different conventions for writing numeric dates and times".

Why are you guys changing the ways that have always been? Don't you know history began right here in the US of A in 1776? I'll stick to my 9/6/18 format.

For anyone that does not use Month, Day, Year, what order do you say a date in when you speak out loud? Is it year, month, day? I couldn't imagine that lol

The majority of the world uses d/m/y format US is one of the few countries that does not.

the same as we do for writing, if i say a date out loud, i will say day, month, year... in french it wouldnt make any sense to say the month first.

My country is day, month, year.

Guessing it is a difference in how sentence structure is when talking.

For us Americans, it is super easy to just say
Today is September 12th 2018

It would be long to say:
Today is the 12th day of September 2018 or any other variation of the ordering of the dates. Words need to be added in to make the sentence cohesive.

Yet when learning other languages, it seems their sentence structures are different than ours. Pronouns, verbs, ect all go in different places in a sentence compared to English. This may lead to stating the date as Amerians do to sound wrong for them in a sentence.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was a thread about the upcoming Nintendo Direct
