    It is a bit of a chicken and egg question though. Because does Americans not say it that way because of the date format or is the date format because you don’t say it that way?

    Because in countries using DD.MM.YY we absolutely do say 6th of November.

      That’s probably what happened. Though I do like starting with the larger context when talking about dates, but omitting it when talking about the current month or year.
