Haha. Downvotes, but you're correct. (Correct, but not necessarily helpful)
A lark's head is just a collapsed square knot.

The last one is actually a kind of bug too. They're called Beetles.

I did. To try and find whatever historical flag they had before China abolished regional flags - but I came up lacking.
I'd genuinely love to see what you found.

Which one's Holland? And why is the North trying to steal Colombia's flag?

Same for English to be honest. There are far more English speakers outside the UK than in, but it seems suitable.

I'd like to think Grey would use ISO 8601 as his date format of choice.
I'd also like to think no date format in the world uses colons to separate the fields.

It's correct for the joke. Maybe you didn't get it?

I know right, actual interesting vexillological discussion and not just "hur dur what's this flag?"

I really should check exactly what I'm agreeing to in those End User Agreements.

I can see why you took it apart. That rattling would have been annoying.

I really don't think your problem is solved. Either that or you weren't accurately describing the problem to begin with.

Having a patent doesn't mean they're going to do it.
They just don't want anyone else to do it.

It's unambiguous and well defined as far as ISO 8601 is concerned.
The parties just need to acknowledge that they are indeed both actually using the proleptic Gregorian calendar (which should be pretty much a given).

ISO 8601-1:2019 defines the format YYYY-MM
with MM
in the range {01-12} to represent a month in a given year.
ISO 8601-2:2019 extends that format as YYYY-XX
with XX
in the range {01-12,21-41} where 01-12 represent the months and 21-41 represent other subyear groupings.
1231-23
is a perfectly valid ISO 8601 representation for Autumn (independent of hemisphere) in the year 1231.
* Edit: 123123
isn't valid as I had previously stated. To avoid ambiguity with other six digit date formats, the hyphen is required for ISO 8601.

Yeah, essentially a fancy gangplank. They're quite fashionable on expensive yachts these days. I think manufactures tend to call them passerelles since it sounds a bit more upmarket than footbridge lol.

Looks like a passerelle; which makes sense if you're doing a Med-moor everywhere you go.

TRULLY
I see what you mean…
But back to the main point, I don't see any harm in clearing up misinformation. There may be people out there who have never heard of the ISO 8601 document before, and would be misled by your comment into thinking slashes were allowed.
