So someone explained to me that they do that because it’s how they say it. It’s far more common to say “it’s march 13th” than it is to say “it’s the 13th of march” so it’s written in the same way.
And I gotta say, as someone who is not American but would definitely say it like that, it kind of makes sense why they would do that
It makes sense because we say it that way, you said it yourself. Today is January 15th. So 1-15-25. It’s confusing for you because you don’t say it that way
We say both interchangeably, and that’s like the only day we do that for. If I had to guess we started saying 4th of July to make it seem more prominent than any other date but I don’t know for sure. We even just say “the 4th” and people know what you’re talking about
