Disable automatic "remind me on a day" in Reminders? I use Reminders simply as a set of todo lists. 

Today I created a reminder to "buy a shirt, size 14-1/2 32/33", and Reminders added a due date of "2016-01-14 12:00" (not sure how it calculated that exactly). 

This addition of unwanted reminder dates commonly happens with other inputs, too (though I don't have another example before me at present). 

Is there an app pref I could set through Terminal to disable this feature? 

Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
14-1/2is interpreted as a date, and tries to help you out. (2016-01-14)
There's no way to change this behavior in Reminders.app.
