Bug Description

The datetime-indicator displays like this in my top panel: Aug 26 13:05.

This is confusing because grammar rules require a comma after the "26." Additionally, because the time is displayed immediately next to the date, numbers are displayed next to numbers magnifying the problem.

The date should be displayed either "26 Aug 13:05" or "Aug 26, 13:05" to be easily readable and understandable by English speaking users.
