Comment on A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 week agoThat is a weird one: every other date is “normal” order but for some reason this is an exception. Also weird that we call it with backward date more often than its actual holiday name
- July 4 is a normal date
- Independency Day is the name of the holiday
- so why do we usually refer to it as “Fourth of July”

We don’t say July 4 because that’s a normal date, we don’t say Independence Day because there are so many of those on different days for different countries.
