Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:5 pavelevap]:
 > Is there any reason why using `_x()`? This function was designed for
 different usage of the same string? Translators comment should be enough?

 `'S'` is ambiguous, it means both Saturday and Sunday. Same for `'T'`
 (Tuesday and Thursday).

 `'May'` is also ambiguous, it's used for both the full month name and the
 abbreviation, which may differ in some languages.

 Others just use `_x()` for consistency.
