Sometimes I see that an ordinance is blocked due to different words than about.

Somebody there working in programming can save thousands of hours in consideration of the time of the volunteers spend their time trying to fix this manually.

    As long as the correct standard is linked to whatever shows in the date field nothing is blocked. Anything in any language that adds detail to the date just fine.

    Automatic correction of data in Family Tree just has too many potential pitfalls to let a computer routine go through and change a bunch of dates. Volunteers shouldn't be doing this anyway. Only family members should be. They will, or should, care enough to make sure that any modification of the information on their relatives is done correctly.
