The one you grew up with tends to be your preference. But the usual reason I give for MM-DD-YYYY is it matches how it's said.

December 25th, 2026

12-25-2026

I also know there's no point in arguing about this because, again, my first sentence. It's just team sports stuff, as usual. The only reason why you would bother to argue is if you were trying to convince people to use a standard. But as you pointed out, ISO 8601 already exists. That is the agreed upon standard already. But no one uses it, since we have our preferred systems of date format already ingrained.

FYI it’s not really said like that elsewhere, they say

“(Friday the) 25th of December, 2026”

elsewhere, they say
“(Friday the) 25th of December, 2026”

As someone from elsewhere: we dropped the "of"

And no, since I genuinely heard that before, 25th December does not imply that there are 24 other months called December.

No, you only say the 4th of July that way
