--- Comment #5 from Glen Peterson <[email protected]> ---
Confirmed that this bug still exists in LibreOffice Calc Version: 4.1.3.2 Build
ID: 410m0(Build:2).  Probably for Y2K reasons, Excel 2010 auto-corrects 2-digit
years to 4-digit.  Especially now with dates like 10/11/12 and 12/11/10 being
commonplace and international data sharing on the rise, this format is horribly
ambiguous.

I notice that bugzilla where I'm reporting this bug uses the 1988 ISO 8601
international standard date format: YYYY-MM-DD.  This is the only unambiguous
international date format.  My first choice is to make YYYY-MM-DD the default
format for LibreOffice, regardless of system locale.  Second choice is to
default to (and/or auto-correct to) 4-digit years for all other formats.
