This whole problem became apparent as a consequence of Postgres / GNUmed incorrectly parsing a Canadian date of 12 August 1984 which I had inputted as 12-08-1984 in that Postgres/GNUmed failed to recognize in the third segment the 4 numerals (1984) and instead treating the string as representing yy-mm-dd which explains how I ever got a future date in the first place: 2012-08-19. Here is the thing… if we say or understand the '-' to be reserved as always treated as [yy]yy-mm-dd and if instead I use a different separator '/' and input the same string with '/' as 12/8/1984 then Postgres/GNUmed recognizes the 1984 as the year but goes on to make a *different* mistake, because it then applies the American interpretation as Dec 8 1984 despite my locale is en_CA and it should have been interpreted into 12 Aug 1984. (same screenshot as last post:)
