[Bug localedata/4789] incorrect abmon in polish locales


------- Additional Comments From belegdol at gmail dot com  2007-08-26 13:16 -------
Using arabic numbers for both month and day *is* a bad idea. Believe me, enough
confusion is caused between American and British date formats. August 26th, 2007
and 26th August 2007 can be understood easily, but if you use only numbers for a
date before the 12th day of the month, the fun begins. Vide 02032007: is it
British? Or American? Is it 2nd March, or February 2nd?
So please, at least try not to introduce additional confusion and don't make the
month abbreviation a number.
By the way, for the language purists, I think that the bigger problem is that
the month number do not support declension, and are shown as 26 sierpieñ, not 26
sierpnia, as they should be.
