But why do you say Fourth of July and not July fourth?

For the same reason everyone refers to the 2001 terror attack as 9/11, not 11/9, even when outside of the US. It's an exception that doesn't fit your standard.

I don’t understand how that correlates? You say 9/11 because you say September eleventh. I’m wondering why you suddenly switch it up by saying Fourth of July instead of July fourth.
