Kernighan's Law: You are not smart enough to debug...
"18.2.2020" seems easy. I once walked into a meeting room where the whiteboard said "Deadline: 4/7/3". No idea what I was reading.

18.2.2020 is easy if you recognize that 2020 must be a year and 18 can't be a month. But if you want to parse 18.2.2020, you probably want the same parser to handle 1.2.2020.
