The way I see it, the US just writes it the way it's spoken. "August 9th, 2023" vs. "the 9th of August, 2023".
Sorry, guess I forgot about that classic American holiday, July 4th
That is indeed how many Americans say it.
That also doesn't make a lot of sense though, does it. In my language, the day comes first. Also when spoken.
No, the US just chose this order and speaks it the same way. I don't speak it this way, you're just used to it (just like everyone is to the way they speak it)
Just like the comment above mine wrote it
