You do see that there is a whole extra word in the way you want us to say it, right? (At least. If you also want us to say "The" at the beginning, you're asking us for two syllables.)

27th OF November, 2006

whereas it is briefer to say

November 27th, 2006

So, if you're going for brevity and have less syllables to say, then you're going to want to go with the American format.

Good grief. Brevity? Laziness.

So you're advocating that we stop using: "It's the 27th of November" in favour of "Fuck you, it's November 27, douchebag"?

[QuoVadis]

That's actually common practice in New Jersey, actually.

Except we'd say November 27th.

So this Outer Limits thing is common knowledge, then?

I wrote it that way because it's the first method that came to me.

On the matter of why, well, I think it goes like this:
"Pssh, we all know the year at least, 'cuz there's a party between 'em all. We'll save that for the end. Put the month first, because it sucks to suddenly realize it's actually December after you've already written '30', and then the day can sit in the middle because that's the only space left."

Or, what everyone else said.

Basicly like the reference to Gamers + Sunlight = bad

And yes the sun is trying to kill me
