How effing arrogant do you have to be to say something like this? No "please respond and we can talk about it", it's "please confirm you know we're the big guys, and you're going to do what we say".
- Karellen 3y agoBut nice of them to give the site four and a half months to think about it.
- dingledork69 3y agoThat deadline passed 12 days ago
- bongobingo1 3y agoResponse not due till October though.
- fouc 3y agoirb(main):008:0> Date.parse("05.10.2023") => #<Date: 2023-10-05 ((2460223j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)> Should be for October 5, according to that format.
- rob74 3y agoYeah, if you insist on using your weird American date format, use "May 10th, 2023" or at least "05/10/2023" to make it less ambiguous, using dots implies DD.MM.YYYY the same way as using dashes implies YYYY-MM-DD...
- cesarb 3y ago> use "May 10th, 2023" or at least "05/10/2023" to make it less ambiguous, using dots implies DD.MM.YYYY the same way as using dashes implies YYYY-MM-DD... For most of the world, using slashes also implies DD/MM/YYYY. For instance, I would write today's date as 17/05/2023.
- nologic01 3y agoThe good news is on a dozen days during the year the US and the ROW are on the same page (MM/MM/YYYY or DD/DD/YYYY if you prefer). Somebody should check if those days are generally associated with fewer accidents, higher stock returns and a pronounced sense of global peace and harmony
- yeputons 3y agoAnd that's why I always write month as a word
- capableweb 3y agoImpossible, what madman would use a date-format that goes $MONTH.$DAY.$YEAR that basically have a random order instead of $DAY.$MONTH.$YEAR or $YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY? No one would be that crazy, it's too ambiguous to be useful. It's clearly intended to be 5th of October, 2023. (This may or may not be sarcasm, in case people may not or may misunderstand)
- yeputons 3y agoMaybe that has something to do with feet and inches instead of metric.
- dingledork69 3y agoI'm not american, but they always seem to do month.day.year for some bizarre reason
- spacebanana7 3y agoI wonder how that would play out in court. Is it a valid defence to say that you responded a few months late because your local jurisdiction uses DD-MM-YYYY?
- robbiemitchell 3y agoThe letter is a demand for action that assumes a conflict exists and the client is correct. It is standard. The recipient can acknowledge and agree or acknowledge and disagree.
- alecbz 3y agoAFAIK this is fairly standard lawyer-speak.
