But when you talk about the date you say "January 24th, 2024" not the other way
Americans do so, yes. In a lot of other countries the order would be more like "The 24th of January, 2024". In languages like French or Dutch I think the month-first option would get you some strange looks even.
4th of July says hello
That's a holiday though, saying the day first sounds formal
You can also say the "24th of January".
And sound like a twat while you're doing it
Lmao then you might aswell say "Today is my birthday 30th" or "This is the time third that I've tried this".
Relevant and true
Not relevant or true
Not relevant (or true) is the fact that you think I sound like a twat while saying it.
Saying "it is the 25th of January" sounds poetic to American English speakers. So if that's how you say it in regular conversation and are from the US, yes, you sound like a twat
No I say "Vierundzwanzigster Januar"
24 января 2024. Nope.
