 Replying to [comment:3 siliconforks]:
 > That's not really true for en-CA - "F j, Y" is more commonly used in
 Canadian English.
 The official date format for Canada is "j F Y" for both French and
 English. "F j, Y" is allowed as an exception for English, and it is common
 only because of its proximity and ties to the US.

 > I don't see how an en-US translation could be "added to just the en-US
 locale" - if a WordPress installation uses the en-US locale, it doesn't
 install any translation files at all; it just uses the default
 translatable strings (which are assumed to already be in the en-US
 locale).

 > Probably the thing that needs to be fixed is the translation you have
 installed, which should change "jS F Y" to "j F Y".  Which locale are you
 using - is it en-GB?
 Interesting. That seems like a separate and deeper issue then. But yes,
 I've checked all of the English non-US locales, and they all have this
 issue. I've actually suggested fixes for those strings via the translation
 UI; that should eventually fix the issue, yeah?
