Subject: [PATCH 1/1] NEWS: Avoid the words "nominative" and "genitive".
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 09:48:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1290992034.436125.1532684872492@poczta.nazwa.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1656545809.435941.1532684630776@poczta.nazwa.pl>

Glibc supports two grammatical forms of month names and we keep adding
the locale data which actually use this feature but those two forms are
not necessarily nominative and genitive.  It is better to use a more
generic term.
