15 month 16 street 17

What am I aiming at by this? The peculiar tradition of placing the numbers before or after. I guess that You as an English speaker find it all to natural to write the street numbers before the street name? Right. But dates? Yes, after the name of the month!

In Swedish it is the other way around. House numbers after the street name. Date before month!
