The European Day/Month/Year model makes much more sense on a organizational level. It goes from the smallest unit of time to the largest. This also mirrors how we speak conversationally. The April 1st v 1st of April is just semantics however if I were to ask you the date you would understand that I'm asking for the day of the month not the month itself. For example, if a teacher asked you to write the date at the top of a paper, and you asked for the date, they'd say its the 8th not March. It's the classic time traveler joke, 'What's today's date? No.. WHAT YEAR IS IT?". Obviously weird.

On a completely separate note: this is why slice turn notation is actually wrong. Rotations follow the rule of turning in the same direction as R U F, x y z respectively. However, slice turns do not follow this rule. For slice turns M follows L, E follows D, and S follows F. Clearly a mathematician did not come up with this notation. Actually I wonder who official codified the modern notation system..
