OK so it’s a homophone, caused by a typo. But misunderstood requirements can have a big impact.<\/p>\n
Pi Day itself can throw up the question which part of the world do you live in? Today 14\/03\/2017 specifying in increasing component granularity dd\/mm\/yyyy is nothing like \u03c0. I<\/span>n reverse as UTC 2017-03-14T12:46:14Z again does not have any\u00a0\u03c0<\/span> significance. However, living elsewhere in the world, as long as it still used the\u00a0Julian calendar<\/a>, dates are written differently, if you swap the components to mm\/dd\/yyyy<\/span> 3\/14\/2017<\/span> does have a meaning, although we have to skip back in time to 1592 to really tell the joke!<\/p>\n Writing unambiguous requirements is about being clear in your language, precise in your detail and knowing your audience. Otherwise you may end up with Pi on your face…..<\/p>\n According to\u00a0piday.org Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3\/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter \u201c\u03c0<\/span>\u201d) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant \u2014 the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter \u2014 which is approximately 3.14159.<\/p>\n![\"photo](\"https:\/\/www.threesl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pexels-photo-103888.jpeg\")
