MODERATORS
I prefer YYYY MM DD myself, and I am assuming that the US operates along weird similar logic but just considers the year irrelevant for most dates, tacking it on at the end instead when the year needs to be mentioned so that the unstated/assumed dates which omit the year still begin the same way.
I think that's too much thinking, I'm pretty sure it's simpler than that. North Americans say "December Twelfth" or "May Forth" or "March Fourteenth" rather than "The Fourteenth of March".
So they go "March -> 3", "Fourteenth -> 14", and you get "3/14" that you can read from left to right as "March Fourteenth". That's about it, I'm pretty sure.
And so long as everyone agrees which one comes first it's not ambiguous. Of course, everyone doesn't agree, and there are logical reasons to pick the others, but this one is simply in reading order.
