So, for example, in English, I can choose the format: "Month Day, Year" in the preferences. Then, Christmas would be displayed in the person view as "December 25, 2009".

For example, in the Detailed Descendant Report, you would see a sentences like this: "Edwin was born on October 28, 2009". The "October 28, 2009" part of that sentence comes from the DateDisplay class (assuming that is the date format selected in the preferences).

So basically it means they be used most as a part of dates and in my 
case they should be in genitive form.

But i already use months enumerated in DateDisplay() both in genitive 
form or as roman numbers (see _Date_hr.py). Would that still works?
