We use different units of measurement , write the date differently , and stuff our glasses with a tonne of ice

In addition, we observe Labor Day rather than May Day as the day on which we honour workers and the labour movement. Given that both days began here in the United States, that is especially unusual.

So how did one spread to other places while the other was declared a government holiday in this country?
