How do you distinguish 21K111 and 21K111?

Are you trying to catch GP on differentiating hours, were it to be appended to his time format (1st @ 11 vs 11th @ 1am)?

Notably he didn't promise any, but presumably one'd need a separator... Maybe, per his "K" usage of the month, one'd use the alphabet again. 11am would be "K" again... or lowercase just for giggles?

I don't think it reads very well, but I also think one'd get used to it pretty quickly.

I was thinking January 11th vs November 1st. Maybe their "date" doesn't need/support day-of-month? Or they typod and I should just focus on my work.

I imagine January is A and November is K, so 21A11 vs. 21K1 (or maybe 21K01).

Ah yes, I missed that K was a month.
