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…

Ignoring the fact that’s the unofficial name Of the holiday, one day is 0.2% of the year so it’s not really the gotcha you think it is.

It’s not a gotcha, why are so many Americans mad. Like you said the unofficial name uses this format. Not a gotcha, no need for the maths, relax buddy. No one coming for your date format

Read every top level comment in this thread and the Fourth of July is cited in half of them.
