There seems to be a typo in the date.
- schoen 4y agoThis is probably a nonstandard variant of European date order, yielding YYYY-DD-MM. Usually when the year goes first or when there are hyphens as delimiters, it's an ISO 8601-style date (YYYY-MM-DD). However, Europeans often write DD/MM in other contexts, so the habit could transfer over when writing the year first, even though there's no standardized format that does this.
- janzer 4y agoA one character typo seems more likely, than a non-standard date format for two dates in the future being used as timestamps.
- stevefan1999 4y agoYep. It should be 11 not 14. I'm pretty sure it is because I did this often with keypad which 1 and 4 is vertically neighbored
- naniwaduni 4y agoMore likely that the intended change was 2022-11-12 -> 2022-11-14, but edited the 11 instead of the 12.
- ISV_Damocles 4y agoWell, no, because it's not December yet. Pretty sure it's just a typo on the ISO date format.
- avgcorrection 4y agoAh, the Europeans and the slip-ups we imagine they commit using date formats we haven’t seen... before realizing that it’s not December yet.
- selcuka 4y ago> Europeans often write DD/MM in other contexts Correction: Every country except the US (not counting the ones that use YYYY/DD/MM, such as Japan).
- lifthrasiir 4y ago> Every country except the US (not counting the ones that use YYYY/DD/MM, such as Japan). What? Japanese dates are always year-month-day, with slightly different separators. More generally the date notation tends to strongly reflect how it is spoken (e.g. "1st January 2023" becomes "1/1/2023") and there are enough countries where you never put day before month.
- selcuka 4y ago> Japanese dates are always year-month-day Ugh, of course. That's a typo. > the date notation tends to strongly reflect how it is spoken Why does it differ between English speaking countries, then?
- lifthrasiir 4y ago> Why does it differ between English speaking countries, then? Because they speak differently? I would expect "November 17, 2022" spoken as "November seventeenth, twenty twenty-two" vs. "17 Nov 2022" as "seventeenth of November, twenty twenty-two". Wikipedia [1] does say that the latter DMY form recently arose possibly in order to resolve ambiguities and the spoken form is less common, but I expect it to be more frequently spoken after enough years of usage.

- renewiltord 4y agoOne might guess that the author has a numpad on their keyboard, perhaps.
- abrax3141 4y agoDuh-oh! Fixed. Thanks!
- kristopolous 4y agoI vote for this mysterious month of Duodecember to remain standing.
