In several parts of the strftime page there are references to weekday which in several human cultures / locales specifies the set of the days of the week that are distinct from the set that represent the weekend. To mitigate confusion, we propose that the man page text be modified so that the "weekday" text is changed to "day of week".

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
That's great. Thanks Michael.
