16th Ice Cream Day

Ice cream is celebrated on the third Sunday in July in America and other parts of the world. It is probably in July because it is summer and hot. In Australia it is not summer, but the ice cream shops in my beachside suburb still seem to have customers. Do Americans really eat more ice cream than Australians?

I am always tempted to write ice cream as one compound word icecream. The spelling checker moves it apart. the dictionary says it's two words, but why? I wonder if Bonnie Bader explains why in her book Curious About ice Cream.
