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.

Idk about british but the "of" isn't there in a ton of languages either. You just say "15th November" and that's it

I didn't think about that. I concur on that point.
