    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.
