Why do Americans format their dates this way!

Asked by Magical_Muggle (2265points) June 25th, 2015

Ok, I am Australian, and I am really confused about why this happens…
Why do Americans (please tell me if anyone else does this too), but why do they put the month before the day (MM/DD/YYYY), why not write it in order, so it reads better (DD/MM/YYYY)? It just makes no sense.
Also is there something that someone else or another country does that you don’t understand?
