I repeatedly write it as 11 Sept for the same reason.
NATO, for example, does not permit 11/05/10 or 05/11/10 phrasing because the date (as shown on the picture) is how most of the world does it. As if we do not create enough confusion in the world with inches, pounds, and miles. Or waste a perfectly good spacecraft to Mars because America still uses different number systems.
One number that is standard - barrels. And British Petroleum still cannot get it right?
