You try listing a series of dates in the European fashion, and you can hardly pull any chronological sense from it if the day precedes the month. With the American way of writing dates, you'll always count on event tied to the 9th day of the 3rd month showing up on the list before the 3rd day of the 9th month in the year.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
