My bank booked a transaction this year on Feb 29. (I want to see the code for this.)
The best part is the two date formats, “April 07” vs “April 6”. Maybe the first is octal.
@Archaeopteryx: If it was in 2008 it’s possible
@J.Ruderman: 07 octal is still 7, so no change unless 2011 is also octal (meaning decimal 1033, a generation or more before William the Lame of Normandy crossed the Channel and made himself the Conqueror). I doubt it though: English-speaking peoples knew nothing of California back then. :-D
That’s your government at work.
Not my government…
If you think package delivery date predictions are amusing, you should try copying a big fat directory tree full of files using Windows Explorer sometime.

Oh, like the English government is completely different, a veritable bastion of sensible and efficient operation. Please.
