Again, I'm here to tell you I DON'T think it is stupid based on my reasoning. To me, your reasoning is may be clear to yourself, but I find it moot. Then again, you're entitled to that opinion, no matter how non sensical it is to me. Is that perfectly clear to you?

It would be a lot more perfectly clear if you didn't respond so fiercly to my opinion if I am entitled to it.
So what is your reasoning for not thinking it is stupid?
My reasoning is simple: Everyone knows Independence Day is on the 4th of July. It is the same every year, so why, if they are making a "short-form", would they feel the need to put a "4" at the end? Why not just "ID", or "I-Day". Why not use the month? That would make a lot more sense since it is the 4th of July - not the 4th of Independence Day.
I just find it annoying. It sounds too much like an attempt to be trendy (like saying E-Town when talking about Edmonton). Same sort of tackiness.
