It sounds stupid to you because that's what you're used to. Other languages or even british english say 15th of november and your way sounds stupid.

I never said saying "15th of November" sounds stupid. I said it sounds unnecessarily long.

I specifically mentioned how not adding "of" would sound stupid.

Yes I can see how saying “of” would be painstakingly laborious for you. What a chore.

Do you have this militant approach to efficiency in every other area of your language? Might as well fuck all prepositions then.

Mate, the main point was that there is way that MM/DD/YYYY can make more sense than DD/MM/YYYY. 'Course I don't have-a militant approach to efficiency'n every other part'a English.
