Why are date Standardization not matching?

Gordon Collett said: Because you have misspelled November. The computer has no idea what you mean so it ignores Novmeber and only sees the 4 1979 which it parses as 4th month, 1979.

I have this happen all the time when my fingers slip and I type spe instead of sep. When typing, my brain finds it much easier to alternate between hands than to use the same hand twice. So spe (left - right - left) is more automatic than sep (left - left - right) Most word processing programs include automatic correction of common misspellings and in particular letter transpositions like this or at least underline misspellings. Family Tree does neither.

No is not recognized as November


However, Nov is recognized as November.



Start of spelling November wrong results in incorrect suggestion.
