tldr: "dunno"

  I find it mildly infuriating when an article is titled in a way you think you'll find an answer, and it is actually some rambling ending up saying we don't know...

    This is because questions on hacker news are usually rhetorical.. This title is actually right on point, if there was an answer in the article it should have been: Why Americans write the month before the day.

      The real reason is that I guess less people would be clicking on "We don't know why Americans write the month before the day".
