The user's default one will probably sound silly.For example, date "+The time now is %I:%m %p on %A %B %e %Y" will return The time now is 09:12 pm on Friday December 12 2008The system voices will pick it up as a date and say "twelfth" instead of "twelve". Compare this with my default format:Fri 12 Dec 2008 21:27:14 GMTI had to listen to that several times to work out what it was saying. It is spoken ridiculously fast.See date man page for more info.
Hi! A tiny bit of nitpickiness, if I may: When employing the above format string, one will probably want to use %M, rather than %m -- when I tried it, the %m returned the month, while %M returned the minutes.
Cheers,
Andrew
