Difference between 'fourth of july' and July 4?

[Iloveenglish]

Can you please tell me if there is a difference between 'fourth of july' and July 4?

[Torsten]

The date is the same but the format is different. By the way, it should read 'the fourth of July.

Also, please read this: What is a meaningful message title and why is it important?

Hey, for the date format, if it is written like 2009/09/18. How would you guys read it in a formal meeting for example?

My proposed idea: "the eighteen of September, two thousand and nine". How does it look? :-)

The eighteenth of September, two thousand and nine. Or: September eighteenth, two thousand and nine.

That's interesting that the speaking form is in reverse order of the written form! :-)

FYI, the standard format in Vietnam is "dd/mm/yyyy", which is different from Western countries that "yyyy/mm/dd"! My generation is mixed between these cultures, then I would rather use "dd-mmm-yyyy", such as "19-Sep-2009" to avoid misunderstanding!
