Make day of week two characters instead of three.

Post by VictorParkerPIM »

I know this suggestion is minor, but the whole idea to abbreviate something is to make it shorter.
When inserting dates "Tue3/26/4 9:58a" the third letter of the day of the week serves no purpose.
Could this be changed to two characters?
Thanks

It seems that it could be changed easily.

admin,
I was thinking only of the Ctrl+Space date format.

IMHO, this could cause a problem in other languages...

I don't think this would effect any other languages.

Thanks Victor

Luckily enough, in French, a two character day of the week would have no impact.

I'm no expert in languages, just a feeling. I will leave this to the capable EPIM staff.

Two characters is an option, they could still select the three character week day.
