Which way do we write dates? 01/11/2000 means the first of November, 2000, in Australia, but it means the eleventh of Janurary in the US. Putting the month before the day helps with simple accounting systems - there are fewer months that days - but computers don't need to be bothered with such trivial distinctions when there are only 12 months and a maximum of 31 days.
