International Standards Organization years; standardizing date-time formats across various UNIX systems. Many people from Europe, for example, prefer the month to be stated after the day of the month. "2 January YYYY" whereas in other places (in formal writings) people prefer the month to be written first: "January 2, YYYY". Sometimes (if, for example, running virtual host) they can appear to be a mix-up since there's quite a bit of ambiguity within the %m%d%H%_M% or "%m%d%H(M)" string sequences. For sources, see also "errata" on intuitive.com/wicked when the correct time to use them is? Basically amounts to personal preference since options can be formatted.
