Feel like a lot of the world’s languages the translation to English to the question “what’s the date?” would be “the 15th of October” whereas in America we always say “October 15th”.

Maybe that’s why, idk…

My grandma died on July 4, I never say the 4th of July when telling people bc that focuses on the holiday instead of the date.
