When calling date with format character "M", the three-letter
abbreviation is returned; however, when one wants to place a period
after this three letter abbreviation, there is trouble in May...
For example:
date("M.", $january_date) ====> Jan.
date("M.", $february_date) ===> Feb.
date("M.", $may_date) ========> May. (not an abbreviation!)
I know all of this can be fixed with a few lines of code that checks to
see if the month is May before adding the period, but it seems to me
that an "abbreviated three-letter textual month" format character could
be valuable.
But, then the subject of AP-style abbreviations comes up... Their the
list of months and abbreviations (or lack-thereof) reads:
Jan., Feb., March, April, May, June, July, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov.,
Dec.
