[PATCH 09/36] localedata: correct Faroese (fo_FO) date format
From: Jacob Sparre Andersen <sparre@nbi.dk>
Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 21:49:53 +0200
The long Faroese (fo) date format is:
%A tann %-e. %B %Y klokkan %H:%M:%S (UTC%z)
Also fix the d_t format, explained below.

In the sense that nobody writing just barely correct Faroese
would write a date/time-stamp like that, it is definitely
badly broken.
1) It is wrong to write abbreviations without a closing
punctuation mark (.).
2) The day of month is considered an ordinal number and
should thus also have a punctuation mark (.) appended.
Since we don't know the principle behind this variation, I
will suggest that we use a conservative fix, until we find
an explanation of the use of the format.
This is the most conservative change to "%c" which makes
sense in Faroese:
% LANG=fo_FO date +"%a. %d. %b. %Y %H:%M:%S %Z"
