I'll never understand why the rest of the world doesn't do it the same way. That order is literally how we say the date. We don't say the day followed by the month. It's January 31st, not 31st January.
I'd guess it's a language thing, but other English speaking countries also do it strangely, so it can't be that.

Because they say 31st of January. That's how it's said in my language too. USA is just weird

But the number of the month is smaller bc there are fewer months, so it's first.

When you're the small number of the planet that do it one way, it isn't everyone else doing it strangely, you're the one doing it strangely
