Why, when you want to know the time, do you read the hours first then the minutes? Why not just read the minutes and then figure out the hour you're in?

Idk but I think it works best for us. I like how July 4th 2025 sounds over 04 July 2025. Call it cultural differences I suppose and that's that.
Out of curiosity: do you also find it weird that (I'm assuming) you use hour:minute order when reading the clock, instead of minute:hour? Would saying the minute first make more sense to you?
