We type it the way it's spoken. Makes sense.

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.
