Why do Americans call their national holiday "Fourth of July", although they are using the month/day/year date format?

No we just don't give a fuck 2bh. No one remembers how we orginally did it and we do business with the Americans mostly. So it's whatever we feel like putting down. I mix it up all the time.

To distinguish the holiday from the date.

We're using the d.m.y format, which the rest of the world is using and in addition to that allowed the ISO8601 norm for official stuff (yyyy-mm-dd), which is the right, future oriented way in regards of the EU.

You're using and mixing all formats with different delimiters together. A total mess.
