(If you evolve a change through usage, of > course, I cannot argue with you). I think the date issue is one that would be very easy to evolve by usage. There will never be a 2001st day of any month, and so there is no need for conventions to attempt to figure out which form someone is using. Now for a slight digression. Is ":" representing {pi'e} officially recognized anywhere, or is it just a shortcut in jbofi'e? It is nice to have. -- la rab.spir noi sarji zo gumri
