Whichever is the default in VSCode, supposing that, if the default can't handle a simple task, then I've got concerns about the entire premise of Copilot.

(Perhaps other models and AI tools are better... But then why doesn't Copilot use one? An empty project isn't particularly onerous)

I am *thrilled* anytime I get to touch a piece of Urushi Lacquerware. I encountered an Urushi keycap set once and was perilously close to buying the absurd thing.

The entire pursuit of AI Haruspicy via simple heuristics seems... Uniquely grim indeed. Especially as, it seems to me, actual interrogation of text is more important then even. Relying on punctuation augury is more likely to harm than help.

(And yes, Gentle Reader, I am aware that #Zelda is the name of the princess, not the little green fellow. He's named Luigi.)

As a further micro-aggression, the Month-Endian date formats are listed first, despite this being the Australia site.

I do not understand how Intuit is worth 169.08 billion US Dollars peddling this user hostile TRASH.

Why ask these questions without showing an example? Why not guess? Why are there limited acceptable date formats?
