Why do Americans do the date differently?

[major28]

same reason we dont use the metric system, because we are America, we are better than you, and if you want to talk to us you have to change the way you do things.

Can some American escapists tell me why you guys do the date like this : month/day/year
instead of in order like this: day/month/year?
(I would have just google'd this but its better to get a wider range of answers and I wouldn't know how to phrase the question)

Why do YOU do it differently?

In Canada, it goes either way, which gets annoying.

It's probably because going day/month/year means it's in order.

That must be annoying, they should start doing it month/day/year since their right next to the USA.
