Don’t date documents with x/x/20

2020Many of us use only the last two digits of a year when dating a document. You must resist this practice in 2020! Signing a document with just “20” makes it too easy for an evil person to backdate a document by adding “19,” “18,” etc. after the “20.”

This is really “throwback” advice — the same thing was true in 1919!
