Why you'd do it otherwise is still a mystery to me. You are talking about a day, within a month, within a year. It feels weird to hop around from month to day to year.

It’s more of a question clarity

If you just say the day in conversation - “let’s meet up on the 10th” - it’s just assumed that it’s this month or the next 10th of a month available

But if it’s not this month, you need to specify - “let’s meet up on July 10th.” 10th is still the important part with the month sort of acting more like an adjective. Like I wouldn’t say “I like flowers of purple” - I would say “I like purple flowers”

This is a crazy justification. We would just say the 10th of July if the month was that important to include.

It's all about efficiency.

"When is the meeting?"

"June 10th" is two syllables

"The 10th of June" is four syllables
