Carsten was pointing out that the pattern I gave you would match any 
string that *began* with one of the month names, as I didn't include an 
element to force a match of the end of the string.

I did this because I assumed you were most interested in finding out how 
to match one of a number of alternate strings, and this would likely 
only be a part of your final pattern.

If you already have what you need you really don't need to pay much 
attention to the rest: it's just geeks picking nits!
