Here in Italy the four-digit format is always used, both in long (like venerdì 7 febbraio 2020) and short notations. I can't find a rationale behind this nowadays: only very very old electronic devices might still use the two-digit year format, unless you customise recent software and devices to behave in this way, of course. It's really really annoying having to change it every time I enter dates in Calc or import CSVs or alike, without the ability to change the default format once and for all...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
