So what is the IIRC;
could you explain?
Could you, please, explain what does IIRC mean or stand for?

By a strange twist of fate, where I live, similar but worse date format
also had been pushed through. (I evaluate it as worse because it had
year like YY.) And all the time during that format was being pushed I
preferred *.MMM.* OR *.MMMM.* date formats i. e. formats where a month
represented only by letters because among other reasons, a month
represented by a word unambiguously determines a string comprising the
month-word as a Gregorian calendar's date and, in addition, it clear
shows a structure of that date/string. E. g. Date/Time Formats of
RFC2616, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1", (
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt ), section 3.3.

Cyril, Esq.
