 * Due to my internalization, I’ve detected that the time format is a fixed parameter
   in some pages, French people prefer Day Month Year than Month Day Year 🙂

   we should take advantage of the wordpress preferences. Here my fix in my child
   theme
 * `the_time('F j, Y')`

 * If that could help some members …

 * On the other hand, a short date format “the_time(‘F j’)” is also used in this

   that 😉
 * If one of our users should take the time to write this improvement …
