Default Change Excel cell format date type examples ("14-Mar-01")

Formatting:
A detail which makes the response to the user "not exact/unique":
Take the following path in any cell: Format / Number / Date / Type
Say you have a €œsingle digit€ date; example: 3-May-05.
Choose the first of two : €œ14-Mar-01€ what will the format be?
Choose the second, identical: €œ14-Mar-01€, what will the format be?
50%-50% chance one of them will give you a leading zero, the other will
suppress the zero. The user finds out after he executes the formatting, not
before.

Shouldnt we use more explicit examples such as: €œ 4-Mar-01€ and
€œ04-Mar-01€ ?
