Adding your own time formats to to_formatted_s
You can add your own formats to the Time::DATE_FORMATS hash. Use the format name as the hash key and either a strftime string or Proc instance that takes a time argument as the value.
# config/initializers/time_formats.rb Time::DATE_FORMATS[:month_and_year] = "%B %Y" Time::DATE_FORMATS[:short_ordinal] = lambda { |time| time.strftime("%B #{time.day.ordinalize}") }
