       Morning/afternoon times
           This is a list of expressions use to designate morning or afternoon time when a time
           is entered as a 12-hour time rather than a 24-hour time.  For example, in English, the
           time "17:00" could be specified as "5:00 PM".

           Morning and afternoon time may be designated by the following sets of words:

              AM
              m.

              PM
              p.

       Each or every
           There are a list of words that specify every occurence of something.  These are used
           in the following phrases:

              EACH Monday
              EVERY Monday
              EVERY month

           The following words may be used:

              ogni

       Next/Previous/Last occurence
           There are a list of words that may be used to specify the next, previous, or last
           occurence of something.  These words could be used in the following phrases:

              NEXT week

              LAST tuesday
              PREVIOUS tuesday

              LAST day of the month

           The following words may be used:

           Next occurence:

              prossimo

           Previous occurence:

              ultimo

           Last occurence:

              ultimo

       Delta words for going forward/backward in time
           When parsing deltas, there are words that may be used to specify the the delta will
           refer to a time in the future or to a time in the past (relative to some date).  In
           English, for example, you might say:

              IN 5 days
              5 days AGO

           The following words may be used to specify deltas that refer to dates in the past or
           future respectively:

              fa

              fra
              dopo

       Business mode
           This contains two lists of words which can be used to specify a standard (i.e. non-
           business) delta or a business delta.

           Previously, it was used to tell whether the delta was approximate or exact, but now
           this list is not used except to force the delta to be standard.

           The following words may be used:

              esattamente
              circa

           The following words may be used to specify a business delta:

              lavorativi
              lavorativo

       Numbers
           Numbers may be spelled out in a variety of ways.  The following sets correspond to the

       Ignored words
           In writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words that are typically
           not important.

           There is frequently a word that appears in a phrase to designate that a time is going
           to be specified next.  In English, you would use the word AT in the example:

              December 3 at 12:00

           The following words may be used:

              alle

           Another word is used to designate one member of a set.  In English, you would use the
           words IN or OF:

              1st day OF December
              1st day IN December

           The following words may be used:

              della
              del

           Another word is use to specify that something is on a certain date.  In English, you
           would use ON:

              ON July 5th

           The following words may be used:

              di

       Words that set the date, time, or both
           There are some words that can be used to specify a date, a time, or both relative to
           now.

           Words that set the date are similar to the English words 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'.
           These are specified as a delta which is added to the current time to get a date.  The
           time is NOT set however, so the delta is only partially used (it should only include
           year, month, week, and day fields).

           The following words may be used:

              domani               +0:0:0:1:0:0:0
              ieri                 -0:0:0:1:0:0:0
              oggi                 0:0:0:0:0:0:0

           Words that set only the time of day are similar to the English words 'noon' or
           'midnight'.

           The following words may be used:

              mezzanotte           00:00:00
              mezzogiorno          12:00:00

           Words that set the entire time and date (relative to the current time and date) are
           also available.

           In English, the word 'now' is one of these.

           The following words may be used:

              adesso               0:0:0:0:0:0:0

       Hour/Minute/Second separators
           When specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a colon (:) which can be
           used for both separators.

           Some languages use different pairs.  For example, French allows you to specify the
           time as 13h30:20, so it would use the following pairs:

              : :
              [h] [:]

           The first column is the hour-minute separator and the second column is the minute-
           second separator.  Both are perl regular expressions.

           A pair of colons is ALWAY allowed for all languages.  If a language allows additional
           pairs, they are listed here:
