Pretty much everywhere else does it the other way around and it does get confusing when dealing with people from different parts of the world. Especially when a date could be read two ways. For example, the 5th of May. If it is written 5/5 and I am not totally sure who wrote it I have to really think.

As far as what is natural, I am so used to saying '5th of May' as I just did rather than May 5th that it now feels odd to write dates in the American style. Neither is wrong just what makes language interesting.
