Ask HN: Two days before 2013, is Google Calendar still misparsing 2013 dates?

9 points by WCityMike ↗ HN
Go to Google Calendar's create an appointment screen:

https://www.google.com/calendar/render?pli=1

In the date field, type "1/1/13". Does it change this to "1/13/2001" for you? Does it change "2/8/13" to "2/13/2008" for you?

If others are experiencing this, to whose attention can this be brought, given that we're talking about a date as near as Tuesday, now?

If it's just me, can any friendly soul suggest where I might start fixing this?

Yep, reproducible. Quick add parses them correctly though. Eg, "meeting on 1/1/13" gives you an entry on 1 Jan 2013.

Interestingly enough, it doesn't appear to be showing up in everyone's Google Calendar ... which would explain why Google seems to be utterly quiet on this issue. sigh
