I get it FWIW... Its just a shorthand in the way they speak, in 'American English'...
An abbreviation if you like...
We would say "On The 16th Of April..." They say 'On April 16th...' Saving the need to say 'on' and 'the'...
Hence the shorthand style of the date (MM/DD/YY) being the same way around...
