First,my sweet Lord, it's the civili
zed world, not civilised, and, here in the heart and homeland of intelligent discourse, dates are listed by Month, Day and Year, the exceptions being historic anniversaries such as the
Fourth of July or in poetic use as in Longfellow's

"On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

To say nothing of it occurring in every bloody time zone around the planet.
