But wait a minute... you can't. You start [thinking](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11889/how-to-change-your-thinking-paradigm) that you have done [something wrong](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33390/nsdateformatter-am-i-doing-something-wrong-or-is-this-a-bug) and you try one more time, unfortunately, with the same result.
