Description: I was looking at https://www.greaterwrong.com/posts/ijr8rsyvJci2edxot/making-money-with-bitcoin

and the post and the comments show the date as 11-02-17. It's confusing and hard to determine which number is the year. It's either 11 or 17. Later I noticed comments from 11-02-25.

Internationally it's common to follow a DD/MM/YY order. I think in general YY should be the last digits. Also doesn't hurt to use the full YYYY to further remove ambiguity.
