And the DBAs had to alter some Oracle reports, if I recall correctly, to use RR rather than YY for the date.

Early in my career, Serge, a middle management guy whom I also respected for his technical knowledge, told me that he sometimes had to deal with this kind of thing:
Serge: I want 2+2=4 on the screen.

Is that what you're talking about?

Funny. Dave Barry has a way with words. Reminds me of Douglas Adams.
