No need for apologies folks....

I also am not here to give anyone English lessons on how to use proper punctuation marks...

However, it is much easier for everyone reading your post to read the full year rather then try and figure out if it is 88' (88 feet) or 88" (88 inches) or 88 (88 HP)...... 1988 should be used.
This also helps out when people do a search for the correct year item they may be looking for...

So, I am asking everyone to please use the full 4 digit year....

Thanks for all your co-operation........
