Indeed there is also "The twenty-second of July" format.
But for Chinese it's like the user can get
Seventh month,
but not seventh day,
all due to there being %A and %B, only down to the n
Anyway isn't it odd that there are only
locale’s abbreviated weekday name (e.g., ‘Sun’)
locale’s full weekday name, variable length (e.g., ‘Sunday’)
locale’s abbreviated month name (e.g., ‘Jan’)
locale’s full month name, variable length (e.g., ‘January’)
but no (1-31) day pairs?
