I grew up in the 90s and I remember being able to truncate the year down to just 2 numbers when talking about years within the current millennium. It seems like we’re still saying twenty before every year and I’m just wondering when that will change.
The logic is that you start with the smallest and end with the largest. Instead of mixing them up like some lunatic.
And your 22 of February argument is worthless, since it is also important to know the actual day in order to be at the wedding.
Otherwise, the year is more important than the month, so by your own logic you should say the year 2026 February the 22th.
