You're right, but the same must be said for July 23rd. Both are abbreviating "day in the month of july" to a simple mention of the month.

At the end of the day both work, both are equally efficient, and simply come down to habit.

Yeah, that's my thinking too. English, and language in general, is very fluid. Different regions will have different colloquialisms, and even different dialects of the same language. So long as we all understand what is meant does it really matter all that much how it was said?
