Well, as long as you only write to yourself I don't mind.

Personally I would have preferred if the numbers looked something like  
this: 2010.1 → 2010.2 → 2011.1 and so on. Or maybe 2010.0 → 2010.1 →  
2011.0 and so on. But now they don't, and no matter how stupid it is, I'll  
follow it anyway. I mean, I can see some things in the English language  
that could be ”better”, but I still try to follow the ”rules” the best I  
can (not very good, but at least I try – English is not my native  
language) and not replace them by my own rules.
