short date and long date

---

There are two date format settings in the Regional Settings Control Panel of the Windows operating system: the short date and the long date. The short date choice is preset (by "default") to display the year in only two digits, but can easily be changed by a user to a four-digit year format (by choosing one of the options that includes "yyyy").
The long date (a more fully descriptive format that includes the spelling of the month) is preset (by "default") to display a four-digit year (also represented by "yyyy").
