In Ruby 1.9 there is a rich strftime function which enables lots of different formats. I can understand how to get Sun and SUN as days of the week using %a and %^a respectively, but I would like to get sun. Is there any way of using strftime to get a lowercase day of week?
NOTE: I specifically want an strftime solution so that I can put the formatting in (and only in) the locale file and then use the l function alone in my views.
I ended up using css to make it lowercase, and combined that with the localize version.
