Ask me how I can tell you haven't been using this strategy for more than a decade or two. ;)

I say that mostly jokingly, but stuff like this was really annoying around the turn of the century, in a death by a thousand cuts kind of way.

Please, just put the full year in. It's only two more digits, and will prevent the older people that see it from building a little bit of rage up every time they see it.

Or even trying to determine which value represents year, month, or day. Internet date format is the only way to go, IMO.
