Actually, we are! Everyone in the world writes it like that, as far as Major nations go. I know that is how it is done in Mexico and South America. And since we were newer than England, (many of us can find some of our roots there), we are the ones that are backwards.
In fact, if you want some more fun info...English is not the official language of the US, because the Congress has never made that declaration, and when that bill tries to get passed, they shoot it down every time. Thus we are a mixed breed of all other nations.

England is in fact also opposite the rest of the world in at least one way, they drive on the left side of the road while the rest of the world drives on the right side.

I meant no offence, i was just having a joke.
I've got no problems with Americans.............

Just thought i'd add a quote from George W. Bush........."More and more of our imports come from outside the country"......

"I think we agree the past is over"

"it's clearly a Budget. It's got lots of numbers in it"

"Nigeria is a very important continent"

He's nearly as bad as our Priminister

I think my bedroom door is smarter than Mr. Bush, when he became president, the average intelligence of all politicians in the USA fell by 10 points.

I am of the understanding that, much to the horror of any English language purists here in England who accuse Americans of speaking a degraded form of English, that actually US English has changed less than UK English and is closer to so-called 'proper' English. It is we in the UK who have changed the language most

They also drive on the "wrong" side of the road in Japan. I got in a wreck because of that!
