Regardless of the syntax, the date has transcended the memorial to become the event itself. I've always liked how Americans do the date thing. It just makes sense when you're putting something in chronological order.

Good to hear Harvey is not pleased. I would think he was better than this, but after hearing the former FBI agents approached to oversee it were dropping off like flies, I'd have thought he'd catch on.

When I list things, it's easier to go year, month, day. That keeps it all numerical and chronological. Very handy for bootlegs.

I have to admit it really does annoy me - it just doesn't make sense, either do it normally like most of the world, of do it completely fucking backwards. Ohhh well, the US will probably change one day, when they start using litres and kms.

I guess depending on where you are from will decide if it is mixed up or not. To us in the US, putting the day before the month is mixing it up.
