Format for API dates
Format the dates the API returns as numbers instead of using the short (english) month.
As it is, the API returns the dates in the following format: Sep 16, 2008. While I can ask the DateTime library to parse it according to English Culture rules, I think it's a bit frail, and we would be better served with a more culture-agnostic format for the dates.
Ideally I think the dates would come ISO formatted, with timezone information if it includes time, but YYYY/MM/DD would be better nonetheless.
