I'll probably sleep through it and yell at anybody who wakes me up.

So, what're your plans for the 4th?

To sit on my ass and vegetate. :P
And probably mow the yard again for the 4000th time. :P

I'll be pondering why America is one of the only countries in the world to write dates backwards.

i.e 9/11/2001 to everyone else (though people DO know what you're talking about, as they can read American dates) reads as "The ninth of November, 2001"

Pretty much everyone else writes: Day/Month/Year e.g. 21st/3/2002. The twenty-first of March, 2002.

Why write month/day/year?

None of the above. I'll be sitting in front of Flathead Lake lighting fireworks for hours while the crowd watches. We are paid in leftover fireworks! :D POP! "ooo" Crackle! "aaa"

Get this:
Last night my brother and Dad decided to light a few fireworks early so we did. In a few minutes the people across the road come over onto our land and TOLD US TO STOP LIGHTING FIREWORKS!!! Dad told them to get off our land and that we would do what we saw fit.

Because it makes sense and that's how you speak dates aloud?

I haven't heard anyone say dates like that here at all. Do you say "March the ninth, 2002"?

March ninth, 2002.

"What is the date?"
"July thirty first."
"M-hmm... and where am I?"
"Dan's."
"Alright... and what is the total again?"
"Thirty three fifteen."
"Mmm, thanks... and what's the date today?"

I've often heard them say "the fourth of July" in England and elsewhere - I guess it's just a matter of culture.
The Americans say "July the fourth" because they're used to it that way - simple.

Laughing at the silly Americans

What? Is that the only option for us foreigners? Why should we be laughing at "the silly Americans"? This is one of their holidays which actually makes sense - besides, we have lots of other silly holidays in our part of the world.

Me? I'll probably mind my own business. If I remember it, I might wish the Americans on these forums "happy fourth of July" :-P

I'll be working during the daytime. And trying to explain to the unhappy parents of crying children, the half-drunk teenagers, and the crotchety old retired military officers why my store isn't selling Ground Bloomers this year. (Have I been obsessed with my work lately?)

Thanks to the drought, the living kindling that's growing everywhere, the big scary terries that everyone's afraid of, and our wicked Mormon masters, anything with more bang than a Ground Bloomer is banned from civilian hands this holiday. So I'll be stuck watching the crappy public displays from my porch on the Fourth.

But I couldn't find the switch.

Maybe if I'd have bothered to even think about such rubbish, I'd take the option to laugh anyone who did take it seriously.
