Confusing Date Layout

Text and Images from Slide

The following example is from a form created in Excel (just say NO).
Even if you were to fill this out in Excel using the keyboard, think of the information you come across.
This text was "at the end of a line" so it is in effect at the end of 3 lines.
The other image DOES have faint indications of MM/DD/YY.

Poorly laid out birth date area of a form.

Poor contrast identifying date format.

More accessible/usable date layout.
