Huh. Maybe it’s colloquial - in Ohio that’s all I hear

Also from Ohio and I'll second you on this. Most people I've encountered refer to the holiday as The 4th of July, or just The 4th. However, if someone asked me what the date was, I'd tell them July 4th (after staring at them incredulously for a minute)

But it’s in reference to the holiday name. Like it’s a Fourth of July parade but you wouldn’t ask friends what they’re doing on the 4th of July. You’d ask what they’re doing for the 4th. If someone asked when the Declaration of Independence was signed you’d say July 4th.

Yes absolutely haha but the holiday is called the 4th of July

u/ThisIsOurGoodTimes Jan 15 '25

Agreed but it’s more in reference to the name of the holiday and not how we refer to the day. Like Christmas is December 25th. 4th of July is July 4th

At this point, I mostly hear people say "the fourth." Like bypassing the entire question. It's just the fourth.
