The way I see it, the US just writes it the way it's spoken. "August 9th, 2023" vs. "the 9th of August, 2023".

No, the US just chose this order and speaks it the same way. I don't speak it this way, you're just used to it (just like everyone is to the way they speak it)

I don't know why you wanted to know year before month or day, I use dd/mm/yyyy sometime I didn't even use yyyy just dd/mm because day change most frequent then month then year

One of my biggest gripes when I worked at Walmart in the claims dept.

I would always have to double check items because some are sources from the US and use the US date format while the rest is in the normal format.

BB really needs to have what format was used or labels need to be printed for US sources pantry items.
