  Date
     the fruit of a species of palm (q.v.), the Phoenix dactilifera.
     This was a common tree in Palestine (Joel 1:12; Neh. 8:15). Palm
     branches were carried by the Jews on festive occasions, and
     especially at the feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:40; Neh. 8:15).

  date
       
           A string unique to a time duration of 24
          hours between 2 successive midnights defined by the local time
          zone.  The specific representation of a date will depend on
          which calendar convention is in force; e.g., Gregorian,
          Islamic, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew etc. as well as local
          ordering conventions such as UK: day/month/year, US:
          month/day/year.
       
          Inputting and outputting dates on computers is greatly
          complicated by these localisation issues which is why they
          tend to operate on dates internally in some unified form such
          as seconds past midnight at the start of the first of January
          1970.
       
          Many software and hardware representations of dates allow only
          two digits for the year, leading to the year 2000 problem.
