Signing Documents.
Given a bit of advice today,if you date your signature on an important document,do not write, for example 04/01/20 as this may be altered,such as 04/01/2017. Always write 04/01/2020.

It isnt a big deal in reality for most, though could still cause issues. When I date anything in work, it normally is 09/09/2020, and it is apparently for the reason given above. If I have to type a letter using headed paper, I would normally type it as 09 September 2020. All our correspondence though is securely stored for a period of time anyway, but as it is a government department, all the ts need to be crossed, the is dotted too. Should anything come to court (which my work is extremely unlikely to - but some of the data I handle is court bound), there can be no doubt created, no matter how small.

In a similar vein...
I worked in North America for a while where they usually express dates as, for example, May 12th 2019, which (in that example) would often be abbreviated to 5/12/19. Clearly a UK reader would interpret 5/12/19 as '5th December' instead of '12th May', and as we were often involved in joint projects with colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic, one of my crusades was to try to get all parties to write out the date in full ie 12th May 2019 or May 12th 2019. Another crusade was to get people to paginate their documents so that regardless of which side of the Atlantic they were written or edited, they would print correctly on either A4 or US-size paper… but that's another story! |

Had the same issue when I worked for Land Rover when owned by Ford. I always wrote dates out in full. Also had to be sure one was speaking of the same subject regarding car terminology!
