Do you say "Independence Day" when referring to the holiday? I don't. In fact the first thing I think of is the movie. I say "4th of July" when referring to the holiday. In formal writing I might use Independence Day, but never in conversation. Nor does anyone I know. I wonder, is this a regional thing?

Happy day that means absolutely nothing anymore due to the fact all these stupid sheeple go ut buy red white and blue shit  galore for the purpose of blowing shit up and feeding our corporate masters with our hard earned bullshit of a currency. i mean we go to work to make 7.50 - maybe 20 an hour and you buy a firework that cost you 50 bucks.... For minimum wage people, you just literally blew 6 and a half hours of work in the air in less than 5 seconds.... tragic..... congrats dumbass

I say Independence Day when referring to the American holiday. July 4th is just, you know, that day three days after Canada Day otherwise. B-)
