    Except it's the "4th of May" in sensible countries that don't put their
    dates backwards. :-p

    Both are correct

    No. One is correct English and one is backwards American. :-p

    Meh, it's just a wordplay. After all, they don't say 'The Force (of) may
    be with you' in the movies. (Well, maybe Yoda does. :-)

    It is word play, but based on the backwards American date, so it
    doesn't work anywhere else in the world that uses correct dates. Same
    with the silly "Pi Day" and the other wordplays based on dates.

    Just when I thought you couldn't do worse, you went ahead and ruined Pi
    Day as well. ;-)

    Americans can't even keep it consistent themselves ... they insist on
    using backwards dates everywhere, but then make a movie with a correct
    date called "Born on the Fourth of July" based on a biography book of
    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".
