For speaking or writing it out going month then day feels natural

Yes, of course. Go to google translate and type in october 2nd 2023. Change the target language.

Yes, yes. Feet, miles, liquid miles, solid football fields and other nonsense also feels natural.

As an American Engineer, the US measurement system disgusts me. The rest of the world uses SI, but my entire industry (and most of the US) uses the English system still and I absolutely hate it. Converting from ft to inches, or BTUs and tons, cubic feet, etc. Our lazy asses haven't joined the rest of the world yet. I wish we would just force the change and get over it
