    DD-MM-Year is the best written format for dating by far, but MM-DD-Year is significantly better for speaking, it rolls off the tongue much better then DD-MM.

    Ex: July 22nd, 2005 vs 22nd of July, 2005

        Not entirely, for example the same principle applies in Russian. Of course not every language will be universal, but I feel like a decent chunk of them can fit this mold.

          My russian is pretty weak but iirc date is said dd-mm-yyyy, same as polish and in russian numerals are actually easier to pronounce than polish ones.
