Reportedly with just five days left to enter the new year 2020, the excitement, new resolutions and all kinds of anxiety are being provoked within us. Accordingly New Year is always difficult to get habituated with the fresh outlook of life and in fact, even the smallest changes in life like writing the new date format becomes tougher. Meanwhile we are accustomed to writing xx-yy-19 for all 365 days, now, most of us will commit a blunder of writing '19 instead of '20. But, what everyone must remember is writing the whole year this time instead of just '20. In detail, a new message is going viral on whatsapp asking people to be cautious this year in writing full date format instead of cutting the date short.
Furthermore one must write the entire year of 2020 in full format, rather than just the last two numbers of the "year". For example, if you are writing february 9, 2020, write the full date, 9/02/2020 instead of 9/02/20. Because with the year of 2020, anyone can tamper with the dates, adding last two digits to it. So 9/02/20 can be altered into other years between 13/01/2000 to 13/01/2099. Especially, one must be careful in writing dates this year with the important documents, bank forms, cheques, bank deposit slips, application forms or every kind. Even students who write dates in colleges or at passport/visa offices. Be alert and recall to write dates in full format.
Moreover material altercation or white-collar crime, commonly known as forgery is on high numbers in the world and if you write '20 in your signatures, you are already dooming yourselves. Frauds can create fake identities as changing dates becomes very easier in 2020.
