Probably remnant from the days dates were written like this:
December 10, 1776.
Clueless office clerks and/or EDP managers then got this converted into
MM-DD-YY.
The Japanese system of YYYY-MM-DD is the best one. I personally use a
modified variety (YYYY-MMM-DD which is not ambiguous) whenever I am free
to set the date format.
