Because he didn't know about ISO8601. The only correct date format, especially in Canada.

I didn't know it was called ISO8601 but I started naturally using it at work. It removes confusion among international colleagues, makes it way easier to sort data, and is also good for version control of docs.

Me too. It looks quite normal now and, yes, is great for file organisation.
