dd/mm/yyyy

When you are talking about a date you may be asked, 'what day/what month/what year' so this order makes far more sense to me. I never understood the American way of writing it, it is not logical to me. When we say the date in the UK we would not say 'It's June the 6th' we would say 'It's the 6th of June' if speaking in correct English.

This is one of those little things that gets on my nerves, something else is when people put Sunday as the first day of the week, it's not, Monday is. Sunday is the last day of the week. While we are on the subject I also hate clocks that have roman numerals on and instead of using the correct characters for 4 which are IV they put IIII. You even get this on antique clocks, and it is wrong. Why do they do this, Why?
