Beats me why America does home/away that way.
I think our date system makes more sense though. It's written the way we say it. We say "Today is September 18th, 2012." So we write it 9-18-2012. Who says "Today is the 18th of September, 2012" ???*
*Pretentious people with monocles who also say "I say Finius, tut tut. While the line is engaged tap your bowler and let us away in the next carriage to East Wumbledumbleshire"
Ha ha, I like your quote.
When someone asks me my birthday I say it's the 18th of Ocotber, or 18th of the 10th 1984, I would not say it is the 10th month and 18th day. In fact how do you say your birthdate? Would you say my birthday is October the 18th? Or the 18th of October? Either way is okay I guess.
