Description

The date format is DD/MM/YYYY, which threw me off. If I submitted a PR changing it to "Jan 25, 2020" format, would that be welcome?

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating where the client renders dates, then determine how the proposed "Jan 25, 2020" format should apply to US users without changing other locales. Done means the intended date displays clearly and the relevant date-rendering behavior is covered by a test.
