Description:
------------
German weekday abbreviations per %a should be two not three letters wrong. The three letter abbreviations do not exist in German and look like mistakes. They are unusable.

Test script:
---------------
strftime(%a)

Expected result:
----------------
One of the following: 
Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr, Sa, So

Actual result:
--------------
One of the following:
Mon, Die, Mit, Don, Fre, Sam, Son

PHP's strftime is powered by the system's strftime(3) and locale settings. Look into how you/your distro has that set up.
