Call me mad if you wish 
8 is August, over here the day comes before the month.
Yep I type in sady brail then go back and expand it when needed, sometimes I miss a bit or 2 like I did with this post. When I file emails on the computer by date a lot of the times I simply drop the 0’s.
I have always hated writing and cannot understand why anyone would write 2,500 words on something that you can do in 150 words, ok at university the more the dribble the higher the degree.
