Dibs on year-clipping in the 3rd Millennium

[W Brewer]

MM: <<
​. . .
 misread =E2=80=B9'14=E2=80=BA as day-of-month. *Whoops, I think I misread
you there about chronology. (Incidentally, I don't think it's kerning so
much as variable-width font that makes =E2=80=B9(14)=E2=80=BA more compact
than =E2=80=B92014=E2=80=BA>>
WB:  I'll need to know the settings on your Captain Midnight decoder ring
to facilitate decryption.
