Jason, Based on your response I would recommend allowing the user to enter either format using the watermark plugin to suggest the format of the input, then if they enter it lazily (ex: Month 9) when they tab out of the input box, correct their format. The reduces any server side validation and gives a visual indication to the user what the correct input format is.
