I really wonder how americans were able to fuck this one up. There are three ways to arrange these and two of them are acceptable!

Edit: Yes, I meant common ways, not combinatorically possible ways.

Do people outside of the US not say dates like "June first" etc? M/D/Y matches that. It's really not weird at all, even if the international ambiguity is awful.

In Danish, it's said like 1st of June.
