In the MDN documentation for *Date.prototype.toString*[1] is the claim that:

> "The toString() method always returns a string representation of the date in American English."

Noting that the documentation is primarily for Mozilla browsers, can someone confirm that in, say, Firefox, that Date.prototype.toString returns a string in US English, regardless of the default language of the host system?

Also, whether this statement is true for other browsers where the default language is other than English?
