The Whole World Is Wondering Why Americans Say This On The 4th Of July

From Buzzfeed

It's certainly a mystery as to why we Americans call today's Independence Day holiday, the 4th of July,  instead of July 4th or even Independence Day.

It's interesting really... "Technically or not-so-technically, we should be saying "Happy July 4th," not "Happy 4th of July... It's one of the few times Americans use "European style" dating...And one of the few dates we pronounce differently in comparison to how we write it... I mean, some people say "Happy Independence Day," but that's not really *so* much a thing. I feel like I see that written in store advertisements, but as a whole, we say, "Happy 4th of July."

It a quandary.

Oh well, have a Happy 4th of July, a Happy July 4th or a very Happy Independence Day ... whichever you prefer.
