For sites last visited in May, some citations given properly indicate "May"
without a following period (e.g., it doesn't errantly abbreviate "May" as
"May.". However, both Bluebook styles (where abbreviation of months is
required) improperly indicate that May is an abbreviation ("May."). Months of
>4 letters should be abbreviated, see The Bluebook, A Uniform System of
Citation, 17th ed, 2000, p. 316.
Months are indicated as follows: Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May, June, July, Aug.,
Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec.)
