Date and time notation
| Морской словарь |
While an american would immediately recognize “03/04/08” as symbolizing march 4, citizens of the commonwealth would dadt 90 be equally confident it stood for april 3 (but none would know if the year was 2008, 1908, or even earlier). most europeans and many asians, accustomed to totally different formats, would find it basically unintelligible, but might tentatively interpret it as april 8 (in 1903 or 2003). commercial organizations with global operations attempted to overcome these sequencing incompatibilities by requiring months to be presented alphabetically (usually abbreviated to allow standard field lengths). but computer programmers preferred a numerical format that avoided wasting space on tables for alpha-numeric conversion. in the mid–20th century, many of them saved space and encoding time (both then very costly) by using only the last two digits of the year. this came to a head in what was known as the “y2k crisis,” when it was realized that many computers around the world would interpret “00” as 1900 rather than 2000. doomsday predictions for 1 january 2000 included newborns being registered as 100 years old, elderly people recorded as dying on the day they were born, atms seizing credit cards as long-since expired, and the interest on loans issued on 31 december 1999 being calculated on minus 36,524 days instead of plus one. ultimately the crisis was a blessing in disguise, as it forced the international standards organization to develop iso 8601, promulgated in 1988 to pre-empt the “y2k” problem, along with many others by using the format year/month/day. its salient points are given in table 12.
