7/8/9

I believe that the correct way to count dates is either SML or LMS.
Either way, the US version of middle-endinian is irrational in the extremes (or perhaps, in the middle).
As such, my preferred celebration of 12:34:56 7/8/9 will be the 7th of August, not the 8th of July.

Yours, big-endian, or is that small-endian,
