Context also matters in the date parsing scenario. 11/12/22 could be several different dates depending on the context.
Yeah, and in this post, it's clear what it is.
It may not have happened to you yet, but someday you'll see a date somewhere other than this post.
This honestly has me laughing.
Since the text itself doesn't clarify, context is the only way of resolving any of the scenarios. In each case it's usually sufficient and often not all that hard. But it's always harder than if the system in use was made explicit, and I understand the complaint (even if my annoyance at the ambiguity is quite significantly below the level where I would have complained myself, particularly in this case).
