The one guy didn't notice it should have been 2232?
People don't notice anything about simple systems and patterns they run across. Consistency is meaningless.

I thought it was the date. June 5 (6-5) not May 6 (5-6)
Pic unrelated.

While fundamentally I agree with you, I use the logically superior YYYY / MM / DD format. So they are correct even if they themselves don't know it.

Nope. Everyone got it wrong. All numerical dates are stupid, and transfer no proper information, because there is no standard. Jn 5 2020 is impossible to get wrong, and it is exactly the same as 5 jn2020, or 2020jn5, or any other combo.
Once again, just to be a bit too pushy, using all numbers for a date is stupid. Letters rock.
There's are too many letters in your alphabet. Letter C is an unreliable, redundant letter. It either makes the /k/ sound as in cat or the /s/ sound as in celery. It is considered redundant because it doesn't make a unique sound. When C is followed by 'e' or 'i' it often has the soft sound (as in celery).
We need Ben Franklin's phonetic alphabet.

Letters don't sort well, when you're dealing with dates.

Only if you are a computer. Numbers don't sort well if the sequence is wrong, either.
How tough can it be to write a program that lets the computer change ja to 01? Oh yeah, it's impossible. This is why I am not at all concerned about Skynet.
