So it's always been natural to write the numeric form the same way, but I am American. I can appreciate day first being easier to sort by machines and having an agreed upon international standard.
- mdiesel 2y agoJust like the 4th of July, that most American of days
- SigmundA 2y ago"The 4th of July" is more formal sounding, so it makes sense for the holiday, but many just say "July 4th" more informally when referring to the holiday. Again grammatically is easier and shorter to say month day vs the day of month.
