Very well. I understand how that level of detail could be considered noise to some. I think you still might want to seriously consider _just_ changing `'18` to `2018` though, because that simplification does cause significant confusion. Otherwise, I understand that the rest of the changes I suggested may make the text more complicated than desired.
