It does to me. mm-dd is not used at all in my native language and would be considered grammatically incorrect. Since English doesn’t prescribe it I have no reason to fully accept it.
Note that I still prefer to write ISO 8601 dates but my spoken dates are big-endian.
Middle-endian dates like “June 15th 2046” are just bad, of course.
I commented earlier that having to say more words is inefficient, but what yiu said made me think… In other languages I know, it’s basically spoken as "3rd August’… Eliminating the inefficiency. It’s really more English’s general inefficiency that irks me, more so than the order of the dates lol
