Brandon,

Note that we can't patch the POSIX pages. they are supplied to us by the
standards committee. You could try raising an issue with the Austin group; not
sure how far it would get though, since POSIX has been using this term for a
long time now.

However, I do agree with the point that there is ambiguity here, and I've
applied a slightly modified version of your patch.

I've also made a similar change in the following pages:

getdate.3
strptime.3
locale.5

Thanks for the report.

Cheers,

Michael
