It’s just one more syllable, or one word(no s, because it’s not plural). People prefer to say dou ble u dou ble u dou ble u instead of world wide web, and that’s even more syllables. It’s also arranged in a neat way, from day to month to year.
it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.
That’s the issue i guess, you guys jump from one format to another and then back and that’s considered normal🤷
I find it hilarious that the imaginary 14th month gets to be called “12th” because (ostensibly) the early Romans couldn’t be bothered to have winter months.
In most contexts, “/” means something like “(out) of”, and “14 of 2” makes a lot more sense than “2 of 14” when describing the fourteenth of February (or February fourteenth, as you would say it).
How does it make no sense? I read 2/14 as “February 14th”. How do you read 14/2?
Fourteenth of February? Just like Fourth of July.
that’s…more words, and more thought, it’s only the 4th of July because it’s a holiday preceding July 5th and following July third.
