in Australia and certain other countries, we order it such Day-Month-Year, so we have to wait a month. But for some reason - that I don't understand completely - others put the month first. Does that stem back to the longform - like December 3rd? Here we say 3rd of December.

Potato, potato.

My brother used to be into palindromes:

Madam I'm Adam
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.
I can't think of any others off hand.

I'm not even sure if we have a consistent date format in the U.S. It seems to change depending on who-knows-what. In school, we were expected to put the date at the top of our papers like this: January 2, 2010. In the military, we were told to always write it as either 02 JAN 10 (with two digit date and year, and three digit all-caps month) or 10002, which is the last two digits of the year, followed by the day of the year. My birthday, July 13, 1967, would be 67194, because July 13 is the 194th day of the year.

In filling out forms, where they want you to put a date in blocks like _ _ - _ _ - _ _ then they need to specify what format they want, because it's always different. Sometimes day first, sometimes month first. Sometimes year first.

That's my experience, anyway.
