YYYYY would be something like "The Year of Our Lord, Two-Thousand and Twenty-Six" (or probably just "Twenty Twenty-Six", but the other is more ridiculous so I'll go with that)
Y would just be "6" but I can't think of any context where that would ever be used
i reckon Y might be something like years since 1970 or some other epoch (we do things like week number of the year, day number of the year, etc so i think that’s kinda similar)
