Americans can't even keep it consistent themselves ... they insist on
using backwards dates everywhere, but then make a movie with a correct

the same name. :-\
Maybe the author of the book wanted to write in Her Majesty The Queen's English?
In America, for some stupid reason, that particular day (being
Independence Day) is usually phrased using the correct date format,
rather than their own backwards format. I just heard Katie Perry's
"Firework" song on the radio, which also includes the lyric "the fourth
of July".
