What Americans are calling people idiots for saying (day) of (month)? We say it both ways all the time. 4th of July, July 4th... it's not a complicated thing.

It’s like saying USAians don’t have a sense of humour. Some USAians are MAGAt knob heads, some are perfectly reasonable people. More or less like anywhere else.

That 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.
