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.
-
It does in real English too.

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)
-
Yeah, but in proper English, as spoken in England, we would say "9th of August, not August the 9th"
-
Just like the comment above mine wrote it
