As an American company, they probably mean the 11th of August and not,
as it would here, the 8th of November.

Wonder why they do it that way? Day-Month-Year is much more logical

Ah now you're getting philosophical. Why do they do any of the things
they do ?

If you use just the day and month as a date stamp month/day gives you
everything in order.
EG in the American method we get in order
7/10 10th of the 7th
8/11 11th of the 8th
9/8 8th of the 9th
All in order by month

In UK we get
8/9 8th of the 9th
10/7 10th of the 7th
11/8 11th of the 8th
Order all messed up for the months
