It's just that in the US, we typically write it as 6/1/00.

I know, I know, it doesn't make much sense, but if you say it to yourself it does.

Like in numbers, 1/6/00 makes more sense because you sort of write them in order of which moves the fastest, so to speak.

But in speach, it sounds better to say,"June 1st, 2000" (6/1/00). At least it does to me :(

I don't know. I don't care...
