I think it’s because we say “January 14th” while most other countries say “14 January”.
I write out the first 3 latters of the month (14JanYYYY) so there’s no amiguity.
The Japanese format is the one used by the International Organization of Standards (ISO 8601). I use it for computer files identified by date, because alphabetical order is also chronological.
I’m American and I admit this is also pretty odd. Same with the Imperial measurement system (it took me a few seconds to remember a mile is 1760 yards, and don’t ask me to count more than one in feet) and the QWERTY keyboard (literally designed to slow your rate of typing back when fast pressing would jam your typewriter). I’m too far gone and and too lazy to switch to the better ones, but I admit they’re better at least.
Uuuuh nope, Japanese text is also written from right to left, and in columns.
That’s the traditional writing format, as a more recent (and less used) one is from left to right and in rows, just like any Western language with Latin alphabet.
manga you read right to left yes
BUT text you still read left to right
go check out a Japanese version pokemon gameplay video and notice how the text dialogue scrolls from left to right
It’s actually the same European format dd/mm/yyyy, but… they read right to left.
China and Japan (idk about other countries) use that
