title: In Ruby on Rails, how do I format a date with the "th" suffix, as in, "Sun Oct 5th"?
body: <p>I want to display dates in the format: short day of week, short month, day of month without leading zero but including "th", "st", "nd", or "rd" suffix.</p>
  
  <p>For example, the day this question was asked would display "Thu Oct 2nd".</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Ruby 1.8.7, and <a href="http://ruby-doc.org/core/Time.html#method-i-strftime" rel="noreferrer">Time.strftime</a> just doesn't seem to do this.  I'd prefer a standard library if one exists.</p>
