Houve bastantes tópicos sobre isso ao longo dos anos, embora o consenso atual pareça ser que os sites ajustem isso como acharem melhor.
Leitura interessante, no entanto:

> Quick! Which of these two is older? [image] [image] Errr… Oh! The one with the apostrophe! Took you a second, didn’t it? I took an impromptu poll on IRC to confirm this: \ riking\_: it doesnt say if its feb 2013 or 13th of feb etc \ the '13 would suggest 2013 tho (after getting it wrong) \ I thought Feb didn'th ave the apostrophe \ no \ it was definitely jan ??, 13 I think that the date formats, even for English, should be changed to DD Mmm (so 13 Jan) and Mmm '…

> Hi, I would like to gather some feedback about how the date of a post is displayed. 2Here’s the thing: A post from the current year has its date displayed “Jun 12”. A post from past years has its date displayed as “Jun '12”. For those who haven’t spotted the difference, there’s an extra extra apostrophe in the second date - Jun '12. Maybe it’s just me, but it took me an insane amount of time to distinguish both. And when skimming through a list of posts on an instance where dates do matter…

> I can see why you wouldn’t think of this until [a year in](https://meta.discourse.org/t/one-year-of-discourse/12710), but now the problem is obvious. I just ran into a post from February 2013, but looking at the date I first thought “oh, this is super recent, how did I miss it?”

> The current date format used on posts is not clear at a glance. It can be difficult to determine if a post happened last month or last year. For example, the two posts below: Looking carefully, you can see that the first is from April 2014 and the second is from April 14. However, at a quick glance, this distinction is unclear. I believe that it would improve the UX if the year format were expanded to show the full year, instead of using the apostrophe format.

> This might be just me, but I find that I’m often confused by the short date notation in posts: the notation of a year (Mar '15) is visually really close to the notation of a date (Mar 15). I tend to overlook the apostrophe and assume that a post is one or more years old, making me less interested in it. My suggestion is to change the years to a full year (Mar 2017) - making it impossible to confuse the two.
